Name: Nike Shox R4 “Iron Man”
Colorway: Team Crimson/Black-Bright Crimson
SKU: IH4406-600
MSRP: $130 USD
Release Date: Summer 2026

Nike continues to demonstrate the timeless appeal of its early-2000s tech runners with the upcoming release of the Nike Shox R4 “Iron Man.” While not an official collaboration with Marvel or Tony Stark, the striking “Team Crimson/Black/Bright Crimson” arrangement clearly evokes the recognizable aesthetic of the iconic Avengers superhero suit.

Transitioning from its performance-informed roots into a fashionable lifestyle model, the latest Shox R4 arrives with a bold, change-of-season design. The pair is constructed with leather paneling that runs along the tongue and around the forefoot, anchored by the signature columned Shox technology at the heel — all drenched in a rich shade of crimson red.

Contrasting the dominant red tones, the profiles feature an eye-catching, iridescent gold-brown finish that solidifies the unofficial superhero moniker. The bold material application and vibrant color-blocking further cement the retro runner’s status as a standout viz-tech model.
