Nike revives a fan-favorite silhouette in the Nike Shox R4 “Dark Pony.”
The reissue of the early-2000s original swaps athletic mesh in favor of a luxe full-leather upper in a rich, earthy brown shade, crossing elements of lifestyle premium with old-school tech.
Creamy Soft Pearl lining and Pure Platinum midsole provide tonal contrast, as do the white Shox columns, which retain the signature cushioning. Sneakerheads will appreciate the sleek Dark Pony finish, which moves the once-futuristic trainer into the timeless category.
It’s the kind of sneaker evolution only Nike can pull off: reimagining a performance-focused design for the fashion-forward crowd. Blue insole pops, as do perforated panels, tonal Swoosh and all.
The Nike Shox R4 “Dark Pony” will be available Fall 2025 at Nike.com and select retailers for $155
