Nike Shox R4 "University Red Black" HQ1988-600

The Nike Shox R4 “University Red Black” makes a striking return, fusing early 2000s nostalgia with comfort-focused design. This colourway brings energy with a bold gradient upper, fading from deep red to black, while sticking closely to the original shape that helped define a generation of running-inspired trainers.

The upper is made from smooth synthetic leather, delivering that sleek, almost aerodynamic look the R4 is known for. Black perforated panels sit on the sides for added breathability, while embroidered Swooshes and reflective details on the heel and tongue round things off with clean contrast and visibility in low light.

Underfoot, the iconic Shox columns in metallic silver still take centre stage. These don’t just look the part — they absorb impact, bounce back, and distribute weight evenly to keep you moving in comfort throughout the day. The heel-heavy build delivers a distinct feel with every step, making this more than just a casual sneaker.

A solid rubber outsole keeps things grounded with dependable grip, whether you’re hitting the streets or just looking to switch up the daily rotation. Performance tech meets standout design — and it all comes wrapped in a colour combo that’s hard to ignore.
