Nike Shox R4, in a few lines
The Nike Shox R4 is the first running shoe fitted with Shox technology. It came out in 2000, after long years of development. Four foam columns, placed under the heel, compress on impact and then spring back into shape: they are what give the model its name. With its smooth upper, metallic sheen and cut-out heel, it still looks like an object from the future today. Reissued several times, it has returned to the spotlight in recent years, in silver, in black or in brighter colorways.
