The Nike Shox R4 “Blue Tint” brings back one of Nike’s most talked-about innovations from the early 2000s. Originally launched in 2001, the Shox system became known for its spring-loaded heel columns—and this new women’s pair doesn’t mess with the formula too much. It just updates it in all the right places.
This version sticks to the blueprint with its layered synthetic and textile upper. Laser perforations line the sides, offering breathability without disrupting the sleek structure. The standout detail here is the metallic Blue Tint finish—clean, cool, and just reflective enough to turn heads. Classic black nubuck panels wrap around the toe and heel, grounding the design with contrast and support.
Orange hits add just enough colour to lift the look. You’ll spot them along the tongue and branding. The midsole keeps things consistent with the original R4 layout, including that unmistakable Shox heel system. Those four columns? Still doing the job—absorbing shock, returning energy, and giving that unmistakable bounce underfoot.
Whether it’s the nostalgia or the tech that pulls you in, this updated take on the Shox R4 taps into both. A mix of past and present, bold and wearable.
