Martine Rose’s latest Nike collab flips sneaker design on its head — again. The WMNS Martine Rose x Nike Shox Mule MR4 “Metallic Platinum Varsity Red” blends runway attitude with street-level wearability, creating a shoe that’s equal parts bold and practical.
The upper comes in metallic platinum synthetic leather, polished to perfection for that mirror-shine effect. You’ll spot a Varsity Red Swoosh slicing across the sidewalls, matching the co-branded details on the tongue and sockliner. There’s also a breathable mesh toe box, reshaped for a more angular, structured fit that feels fashion-forward yet comfortable enough for everyday wear.
Where things get really interesting is at the back. The open heel transforms this sneaker into a mule, so you can slide in and out with ease. It’s unexpected, but it works — especially paired with the signature four-column Shox heel, which has been reimagined into a lifted sole unit. The result? A unique silhouette that mixes athletic cushioning with designer flair.
Underfoot, the waffle-patterned outsole grips well on pavements and indoor floors alike. Whether you’re heading to a gig, a gallery, or just out for coffee, these mules will turn heads while keeping your step steady.
This drop captures what Martine Rose does best: pushing boundaries while staying grounded in culture. It’s a nod to football aesthetics, a wink at high fashion, and a love letter to sneakerheads who appreciate risk-taking design.
