This recrafted version of the 2001 original features a durable suede and leather upper with laser perforations for breathability, and a rubber outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs

What is Nike Shox technology?

Nike Shox technology is a mechanical cushioning system made of flexible columns and moderator plates designed to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While originally designed with running in mind, the Shox R4 is best suited for casual wear and light activities due to its unique cushioning system. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.

What materials are the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of suede and leather for durability and a premium look.

Do these trainers offer good ventilation?

Yes, the upper features laser perforations which help to improve airflow and keep your feet feeling fresh.

What is the purpose of the laser perforations?

The laser perforations are designed to enhance breathability by allowing air to circulate through the upper of the shoe.

How does the Waffle outsole contribute to performance?

The modified, circular Waffle outsole provides great traction on a variety of surfaces, ensuring stability.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during initial wear

The Shox R4 may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your feet.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced traction

Ensure the rubber outsole is free from debris, mud, or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If significant wear is visible, consider replacement.
