Nike Shox R4 SE "Black Seaweed" IM6596-001

The Nike Shox R4 SE “Black Seaweed” reintroduces the early-2000s icon with a modern edge, fusing nostalgic design lines with a bold finish. A re-crafted version of the original 2001 release, this pair blends synthetic and textile uppers with laser-cut perforations, giving it both durability and breathability. The wavy overlays and signature design lines stay true to the roots of the R4, while updated details add a fresh layer of appeal.

What sets this release apart is its striking use of iridescent overlays. Under direct light, the upper reveals a kaleidoscope of blue, green, yellow, and purple, creating a shimmering effect that shifts with every step. Even in low light, the subtle sheen remains visible, giving the shoe a standout look without overwhelming the rest of the design. Black dominates the base, laces, and Shox pistons under the heel, allowing the colourful finish to shine even brighter.

Comfort remains central to the design. The Nike Shox cushioning system in the heel distributes weight evenly, softening impact while offering a responsive, spring-loaded feel underfoot. Combined with a sturdy rubber outsole, the sneaker provides both reliable traction and everyday wearability.

The Nike Shox R4 SE “Black Seaweed” delivers the best of both worlds: the unmistakable nostalgia of a Y2K-era favourite, re-imagined with a colour-shifting twist. For fans of retro tech runners or anyone looking for a sneaker that merges performance with standout looks, this pair is a must-watch release.
