Nike’s Shox technology boomed in the early 2000s with its compelling design and borderline false promises of letting you jump higher and run faster. In the mid-2020s, Shox is elevating one thing: women’s outfits.

Nike Shox has struck a note with the lady sneakerheads, with many Shox R4s, TLs, and Ride 2s being tailored specifically to women. Although many of the presented colorways can be interpreted as unisex, this latest duo of floral-patterned pairs is very much targeted towards the chief demographic.

Clad in two shades of light grey, Nike presents the Shox R4 with a decorate pattern on the mudguard that reads as an abstract floral pattern. The upper collar that stretched down to the toe-guard is covered in suede for that true lifestyle feel, while the outsole and Shox columns accept a tonal assignment.

Another Spring 2025 release, this Nike Shox R4 “Floral” is due out soon on Nike.com. In other retro runner updates, here’s the latest on the Air Max 95.
