Nike Shox R4

The Nike Shox R4 Sapphire Light Liquid Lime features an electrically charged color combination that pairs a deep sapphire blue synthetic and textile upper with light liquid lime Shox columns underfoot. The upper panels are saturated in sapphire, with laser perforations adding a breathable texture that creates visual depth, while pencil point and black detailing ground the palette. The light liquid lime columns activate the look from below, creating a striking contrast against the deep blue upper when seen in motion. The Shox R4's mechanical design, built around flexible polyurethane columns and moderator plates in the heel that compress on impact and rebound with energy return, was ahead of its time as a performance concept and became the template for a generation of cushioning philosophy. The modified circular waffle outsole provides traction on any surface while the Shox system does its work. This recrafted version of the 2001 original stays faithful to the upper construction and design lines that made it a streetwear staple, and the sapphire and light liquid lime palette captures the unapologetic color confidence of early Shox colorways. The Nike Shox R4 Sapphire Light Liquid Lime was released on December 20, 2025, with a retail price of $155.
