The Rise and Fall of Nike Shox: What Happened?
Рет қаралды 239,292
Күн бұрынNike Shox Technology was one of the most exciting reveals Nike has ever done in their history as a innovative sportswear brand. It was suppose to be the follow up to their legendary Air technology. In fact, the history of Nike Shox dates back all the way to 1984. Nike designers like Bruce Kilgore (designer for the AF1) worked on the design for Shox for nearly 14 years! In this video we take a closer look at the history of Nike Shox and why it ultimately failed to capture the market like Nike Air did.

Shox were, and still are, my favorite athletic shoe design of all time. I've always been interested in shock absorber tech in general, so these shoes instantly appealed to me. Plus, the R4 design is just beautiful. My first pair were "Blue Spark" colored, and received more compliments than any other garment I've ever worn. I mention that only because it suggested that the design aesthetic had mass appeal. Personally, I think they were just a little too edgy for mass adoption.

I LOVE SHOX. At 40 years old, they were prescribed by my orthopedist to aid my mobility after meniscus issues in both knees. Without the shox, my knees would be done after 5 or 6 hours. Couldn't do my job. With the shox, I was able to complete my work day (12 hours), with strength and energy to spare. Shox changed my life and now I can't find them . I need a woman's size 6.5.

Brought them from dicks sporting goods for $29.99 each back around 2005. I've seen them reselling for $120-$250 in similar condition. I'm not interested in selling either pair. I wore one of each to the Young Money Concert Tour, I think that was 2010/2011. I was given backstage VIP tickets from a friend.

My sister bought me a pair of the Silver R4's from a Goodwill since I wear size 15 and can never find shoes in a store that big. They were the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and lasted for a long time. I think one reason they were so comfortable for me was that the heel was higher than the toe (higher ratio than most shoes) and that took the pressure off the forefoot. LOVED them!

I drooled over these as a kid but never had enough money to buy them on my own. When I was 17 I bought a pair and they were my absolute favorite. I wore them so much the adhesive that attached the sole to the shox disintegrated. It was hard getting rid of them, I actually might have cried a little. They made me feel taller and faster like my feet were on little clouds. Breaks my heart they are $300 - $500 online now because I know I cant help myself, I will be rocking them again one day!

As a poor college kid back then, I worked my socks off earning pocket money to buy a pair of R4 as my first pair of Nike top of the line runners. Ran with it and ended up injured myself pretty bad. Still remember the doctor told me the shoes were not suitable for actual running due to the excessively tall heel and unstable design which caused my injury. I swore not to wear any Nike running shoes until 8 years later when they came out with Nike Lunar Trainer.

I think the year was 2003 when SHOX caught my eye . Always wanted the runners but the VC’s were the ones that caught my eye . I actually had 3 pair that I hooped in . I think if Nike would’ve reworked the technology or went the basketball route first it may have worked out better . If they EVER retro them somebody put me down for a pair or 2 ! The all black were my favorite, then it was the white with the red stitch and the white with the blue stitch !! Great shoe to hoop in , especially for me because I love high top basketball shoes!

Bought the R4 in London when they first got released at the beginning of the millennium. They weren’t cheap, I wouldn’t play basketball in them but they were great shoes. Very futuristic looking and conversation starters. I’d definitely buy them again today. As for some of these so-called sneakerheads, they’re starting to make me question a lot about them. Probably a bunch of resellers acting as sneakerheads. We wore everything from the OG Fila, Jordans and even the original Uptempos, never heard of anyone back then who didn’t wear their shoes because of resale value. Unheard of unless you were some nerd trying to make money off real sneakerheads. Some of the tastes with today’s lot are questionable.

i used to be obsessed with nike shox when i was in grade school. we didnt have the bb4s in manila so i got the r4s for my birthday. i used them for basketball and thought i would jump higher/run faster. its more of a psychological thing haha. but when you had nike shox during that time especially the bb4s you were like the coolest kid on the block. everyone wanted to cop one

In the early 2000s, I saw so many people play ball in Nike Shox BB4s. I never really went for them, myself, but I saw the appeal. God, how cool was that Celebrity Deathmatch ad back then?

In Brazil they’re still pretty popular in the favelas and were being sold by Nike, still up to a few months ago. Still most are replicas, these are really popular

I had a pair of Shox for running around 2005. It was when I first started running. They were probably the best shoes for starting out with my running form. Once I was experienced I switched to Asics. Still miss those Shox though.

I loved my Nike Shox VC 2 and the Shox NZ that had a brown leather look to them. They were the first shoes that weren't on discount that I was allowed to buy.

I purchased a pair of Nike Shox VC 2. You had to order them, and they were absolutely the best shoes in the Shox line up ever! The visual aesthetics were 2 to none! Everyone would ask, where I got them from, and I wasn’t talking! I never played ball in those shoes, they looked too good🔥. Very surprised he didn’t cover those shoes in this segment.

Never been a fan of this shoe, but I can appreciate the idea of this ones. Also gotta watch your videos. Amazing as always, been a fan since the Ross finds and I like more and more the history of shoes, especially the skate shoes but can’t deny the appeal of the rest of the videos

Man we need to do more skate shoes. A history of eS’ and DC would be a dope idea actually. Thanks for the support over the years Alex!! Really means a lot bro

I remember I got to try out a prototype of the Shox running shoes back in fall of 1992. At that time the rubber they used was too stiff to get the benefit of the shox. If you cut it away, they had a lot more cushion but really unstable. The person that had them wouldn't let me take them to the cross country race to show off unfortunately. I was surprised that they didn't hit the market for another 8 years.

I have two pairs of 10-year old Nike Shox and will never throw them away. The only shoes that relieved me from the pain of plantar fasciitis. Looking for a new pair but they are selling at over $250. Nike please bring them back.

I had a red/silver mesh pair and an all white leather pair- wore them both until they fell apart. The mesh ripped after 3-4 years but the leather pair gave me a good 10 years before the entire sole just fell off one shoe. Went to buy a new pair and was shocked to find that Shox aren’t really sold anymore.

I was the only one at my school to cop the OG BB4s. I actually went to the mall in the morning and went late to school just to get them. Nobody was even waiting in line. Nobody was hip til I got them. You should do the Nike Tuned Air
