Nike Shox R4 "White Metallic Silver" 2024 HQ1988-101

The Nike Shox R4 “White Metallic Silver” brings back a bold silhouette from the early 2000s, reworked with crisp updates while staying true to its original formula. The layered synthetic and textile upper carries a soft, slightly padded feel and shows off the model’s signature wavy lines. Its glossy metallic panels contrast against the smooth white finish, delivering a sleek, almost robotic look. Laser-cut perforations sit across the toe box and sidewalls, helping improve airflow during wear.

This model remains best known for its standout cushioning system. The springy Shox columns in the heel provide a firm yet responsive underfoot feel, engineered to absorb impact and help redistribute weight evenly. It’s the kind of sole unit that turns heads and softens each step. A traditional foam midsole supports the rest of the foot, keeping the ride steady and smooth.

Nike rounds things out with a modified Waffle tread pattern underfoot. This rubber outsole grips hard surfaces well and holds up through everyday use. Details like the moulded heel panel and curved tongue construction hint back to the early performance running DNA, even if this version feels more geared for pavement than track.
