A Muted Purple Takes on the Nike Shox R4

Nike Sportswear's revival of the Shox R4 continues to explore different color palettes.

Ahead of summer, the 25-year-old silhouette has appeared in a combination of muted purple and shades of black, creating a look that's suited for the impending change of season. The bulk of the sneaker's upper takes on the former tone, evoking images of the "Eggplant" ensemble that's most often associated with the Air Foamposite One.

Supporting accents and the retro Shox technology underfoot favor darker hues. Together, all aforementioned components keep the performance model's lifestyle legacy alive.

Enjoy official photos of the purple-and-black Shox R4 ahead. Pairs should release via Nike.com by October.
