TLDR: The Nike Shox R4 ‘Bright Mandarin’ combines retro aesthetics, futuristic technology and a fresh Y2K-style colour scheme. It will be available from 18 June for 150 €. The Nike Shox R4 returns in a striking yet everyday-wearable version. The ‘Bright Mandarin’ colourway combines a nostalgic Y2K look with modern streetwear coolness and brings the iconic Shox columns back into focus.
The base is a synthetic textile upper in Vast Grey, contrasted by black overlays and tangerine orange Shox columns. Instead of the shiny metallic look of the original, this model features a muted, matte look that clearly focuses on structure and form. Metallic silver details still provide that certain sparkle.
In addition to style, the R4 scores points for functionality: the Shox technology in the heel offers reactive cushioning that was originally designed for running but is now at home in the streetwear scene. Added to this are laser perforations for ventilation, a grippy outsole with a waffle pattern and a sophisticated mix of foam and rubber.
With its design, the shoe appeals primarily to sneaker fans who see their roots in the 2000s or want to celebrate the Y2K trend with tech flair.
