Full details

FAQs

What is the main benefit of Nike Shox technology?

Nike Shox technology uses a system of columns and plates to absorb impact from each footfall and provide a responsive, rebounding sensation.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While originally designed to support the stride of runners, the Shox R4 is primarily recommended for lifestyle and casual wear due to its distinctive cushioning system and design focus.

How do I clean the leather and suede parts?

Use a soft brush for general dirt. For leather, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For suede, use a suede eraser and brush, and consider a suede protector spray.

What does 'recrafted version' mean?

It means this is a revisited and updated version of the original 2001 release, maintaining key design elements while potentially incorporating subtle modern manufacturing improvements.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

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

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is a combination of leather and suede, with synthetic and textile elements, and features laser perforations for breathability.

Troubleshooting

Unusual noise from Shox columns

This can sometimes occur as the columns settle. Ensure the shoes are the correct size and laced properly. If persistent and bothersome, it may be a characteristic of the design.

Suede material looking dull or dirty

Use a suede eraser to remove marks and a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, consider a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Lack of cushioning compared to expectations

Shox technology offers a unique, responsive feel that is different from soft foam. Ensure the shoes fit correctly. The cushioning will feel firm yet rebound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
