WMNS Nike Shox R4 "Cement Grey" HQ7739-001

Nike brings back a classic from the early 2000s with the WMNS Nike Shox R4 “Cement Grey,” a release that fuses nostalgic design with subtle updates. The silhouette stays faithful to its roots, carrying the original aerodynamic lines and layered construction that defined the model. A mix of leather and mesh forms the base, while panels of suede on the sidewalls add a more premium edge. The Cement Grey palette flows across the upper, mirrored on the Swoosh and balanced with darker accents, creating a finish that feels both familiar and fresh.

The defining feature of the Shox remains its cushioning system. Four columns sit under the heel, designed to absorb impact and return energy with every step. Nike positioned this technology at the time as a performance innovation, but the design also became an icon of street fashion. On this release, the Shox columns arrive in matching Cement Grey, tying the upper and sole unit together for a cohesive look. The midsole and outsole work with the system to distribute pressure evenly, making the shoe more comfortable for long wear.

What makes the “Cement Grey” edition stand out is its balance of lifestyle appeal and heritage performance design. The mix of leather, mesh, and suede elevates the model without straying from its original DNA. Fans of retro runners will recognise the unmistakable profile, while new wearers will find the cushioning system as striking as it was two decades ago.

The WMNS Nike Shox R4 “Cement Grey” offers more than a nostalgic nod. It revives a distinctive look and feel, reminding wearers why the silhouette earned its reputation in the first place.
