Matt Varga Much the same way we’re not overly shocked by a new chrome-coated Vomero 5 or a slight modification to the all-white Air Force 1, metallic tones and the Nike Shox R4 go hand-in-hand. Thus, we’ve come to expect a number of fresh Y2K-coded versions of the silhouette each season, unchanged as we begin to look to Q4.
Capitalizing on a sleek two-tone split, the Nike Shox R4 keeps black interiors, toe-caps, and outsoles, wedging “Metallic Gold” accents in the space throughout, including with embroided Swooshes, the rear Shox units, and the wavy sidewalls. This pair slides into what’s becoming a long lineage of golden Shox R4 releases. To whit, in our coverage of the most recent, we noted that it was, in essence, the slightest twist on one of the most-coveted secondary market propositions in the silhouette’s original retro run. With that in mind, issuing further spins on an already well-received pair is a prudent play on Nike’s part, likely to pay off again even with the changes to the heel Shox unit.
Be ready for the Nike Shox R4 “Metallic Gold” to hit shelves come this Holiday season, commanding a $155 sticker price once it does.
