Nike Updates the Shox R4 with Cool “Blue Tint” for Fall

Nike’s Shox resurgence continues to gain momentum within niche corners of the sneaker market. With high-profile collaborations like Martine Rose and a series of women's-exclusive drops leading the charge, the futuristic silhouette is slowly carving out its own space in a retro-heavy market. Now, for Fall 2025, Nike adds another chapter with the reveal of the Nike Shox R4 “Blue Tint.”

True to the heritage of the early 2000s design, the sneaker retains its signature silver paneling across the midsection, supported by the unmistakable Royal Blue Shox columns at the heel and finished with black rubber treads underfoot. But the update arrives at the top: a refined “Blue Tint” tone takes over the leather upper and toe cap, offering a clean, icy twist that steers the sneaker into more modern territory.

This subtle redesign doesn’t overpower the silhouette’s bold DNA, but it adds just enough of a shift to make the “Blue Tint” edition feel fresh without losing its nostalgia. Expect these to make waves this Fall when they land on Nike.com.
