Notes: Nike is reviving its Shox line with a fresh twist, tapping into the Y2K sneaker trend while introducing the iconic silhouette to a new generation. The latest iteration, part of Nike’s “Design By” program, showcases Korean-inspired elements that set it apart from its predecessors.
The Shox R4 “Design By Korea” features a striking blend of traditional and modern design elements. The upper, predominantly crafted in suede, a first for the Shox R4, offers a luxurious touch with its chalked edges, evoking a vintage aesthetic. Sail leather adorns the sidewalls, complemented by an attention-grabbing oversized Swoosh.
While the upper maintains an understated monochrome palette, the sole unit steals the spotlight. The distinctive Shox cushioning chambers are rendered in eye-catching gold, accented with blue and red hues that pay homage to the South Korean flag.
The Nike Shox R4 “Design By Korea” is set to release on October 5, priced at $170 USD.
