Energy around early-2000s runners keeps building, and Nike continues to tap into that wave with purpose. A global influence shapes this latest drop, as the Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” brings a familiar silhouette into a more expressive space without losing its performance roots.
A mix of Black and Metallic Pewter forms the base, giving the upper a clean but structured feel. Perforations across the black panels help with airflow, while the molded pewter sides add depth and shape. The design still carries that futuristic edge that defined the original Shox era.
Color does the heavy lifting here. A Canary Swoosh cuts through the neutral tones, while Light Photo Blue Shox columns underfoot add contrast and energy. The blue support plate ties it together, and the black outsole keeps everything grounded with durable traction.
Little details help ground the theme. Brazil makes an appearance on the tongue with the CBF crest as well as “Brasil” text that enhances the shoe without cluttering it. It appears purposeful and feels like another small step for Nike finding ways to better tie together sport and culture.
The Nike Shox R4 “Brazil” will drop March 23, 2026 for $155 through Nike.com and selected retailers.
