What Are Nike Shox?

In 1984, footwear designer Bruce Killgore (who you may recognise as the creator of Air Force 1) started developing Shox. This was a new cushioning system that employed polyurethane columns, drawing inspiration from equipment used by astronauts, notably space shuttle rocket boosters.

One of the first Nike Shox, the BB4, landed in the year 2000 and was worn by professional basketball player Vince Carter during the Summer Olympics in Australia. After he pulled off an impressive slam dunk against Team France, the sneakers became an instant point of discussion—and that discussion continues to this day!

Throughout the collection's lifespan, there have been several different iterations of the sneaker: the R4, BB4, TL, and more. Each of these trainers appeals to different niches of sports, from basketball to running, and they’ve even made the jump to the lifestyle market, seen on the feet of sneakerheads and celebrities alike.

Why You Should Buy These Shoes
