Nike Shox R4 "Blue Lagoon" HQ1988-005

Nike brings the Shox R4 back with a clean “Blue Lagoon” edition that plays into the futuristic charm of the early 2000s while adding subtle, effective updates. This colourway sticks close to its roots, with white leather panels along the side and silver overlays that keep the upper looking sharp and slick. You’ll spot hints of blue on the tongue badge, heel Swoosh, and inside the Shox columns—just enough to lift the overall palette without overdoing it.

The highlight remains underfoot. Those signature Shox pillars at the heel still turn heads and give the shoe its unmistakable identity. They do more than look good—they absorb impact and return energy with every step. You’ll feel that bounce, especially during all-day wear. The midsole keeps things firm yet responsive, giving this retro runner a surprisingly functional edge.

Up top, perforated synthetic panels and mesh-like accents provide ventilation while the reflective heel strip gives it some after-dark appeal. Whether you remember it from its early days or are just discovering the model now, the Shox R4 still delivers a confident, purposeful look that stands apart from the usual Air Max crowd.

In this “Blue Lagoon” release, Nike keeps the nostalgia alive without making it feel outdated. It’s sporty, refined, and still carries that unmistakable Shox attitude—one of the boldest silhouettes from Nike’s early millennium archive.
