Nike Shox R4 Cave Stone — 16 years of research under the heel
Shox technology was born from an idea by Bruce Kilgore in 1984, but Nike spent 16 years developing it before finding the high-density polyurethane foam needed to make it work. The result arrived in 2000 with the Shox R4, the first shoe in the family, designed by Sergio Lozano and Kilgore himself. This Cave Stone edition reinterprets that early-2000s design with a much more understated palette of silver and brown.
Nike Shox R4 — the “R” for running and the “4” for its four columns
The name of the Shox R4 sums up its technology: the “R” for running and the “4” for its four cushioning columns, also known as Shox Pillars, positioned under the heel. Each column is a hollow polyurethane foam tube that compresses when you step down and releases that energy with every stride. In Cave Stone, these visible columns feature a Baroque Brown tone that contrasts with the Metallic Silver mesh upper and College Grey leather overlays.
Materials and technology
- Upper: Metallic Silver mesh combined with College Grey leather overlays.
- Interior: Padded insole for comfortable everyday wear, beyond performance running.
- Outsole: Four Shox Pillars in Baroque Brown under the heel to absorb impact.
