Nike Shox R4 Trainers - Blue/Green - UK 12

Nike Shox technology is a mechanical cushioning system featuring flexible columns and moderator plates designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive, spring-like feel with each step.

While the Shox R4 offers cushioning, they were originally designed with runners in mind but are now primarily considered lifestyle or casual trainers. For dedicated marathon running, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains on suede, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner is advised. Avoid excessive water.

It is recommended to refer to Nike's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Consider that the unique cushioning might affect the initial feel, so a proper fit is crucial.

The rubber outsole provides traction, but the leather and suede upper are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

The laser perforations are designed to enhance airflow and breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.

This is a recrafted version of the 2001 original, maintaining the core design and Shox technology. Minor updates in materials or construction might be present for modern standards while preserving the iconic look.

The Shox R4 may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the cushioning adapts to your foot.

Ensure you are tying a secure knot. Consider using a double knot if the laces tend to loosen during activity.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized leather and suede cleaner.

Ensure the Shox columns are free of debris. Check for any visible damage to the columns or moderator plates. Uneven wear can also affect the feel.
