Nike Shox History

The concept for the Nike Shox began in the late 80s when the swoosh designers had the idea to create a shoe that provided superior cushioning and energy return. Fast forward to the 90s and Nike began experimenting with various designs and materials, but the Shox concept was fully available and ready. However, in ’97 the Shox finally made its debut as a prototype, which showcased its small springs made from highly resilient foam found on the heel and forefoot of the shoe.

Finally these shoes were released to the public in 2000. The first ever model released was the R4. This model featured four visible foam columns in the heel, providing both cushioning and a unique aesthetic. 3 years later Nike released the Nike Shox TL, a significant evolution of the Shox technology, extending the iconic columns throughout the entire length of the sole.
