Nike Shox R4 “University Red Black” (HQ1988-600)

Nike Shox R4 “University Red Black” (HQ1988-600)

University Red zet de toon: een vol, warm rood dat het hele bovenwerk pakt en meteen de aandacht trekt. Zwarte accenten breken die kleur op en geven diepte, terwijl metallic zilver hier en daar een koele, futuristische glans toevoegt. De sculpturale lijnen en laserdetails maken het silhouet scherp en beweeglijk — dit is geen ingetogen paar. In de HQ1988-600 komt die drieklank samen: rood dat draagt, zwart dat aardt, zilver dat flitst.

Onder de hiel zitten de kenmerkende Shox-kolommen. Ze veren in bij elke stap en komen weer terug in vorm, zodat je landing wordt opgevangen en je voeten het lang volhouden op de been. Het bovenwerk mengt textiel voor lucht en ademing met synthetische delen die hun vorm houden en snel schoon te vegen zijn. De rubberen waffle-zool grijpt op wisselende ondergronden. Draag ze op een strakke zwarte broek zodat het rood het werk doet, of juist tegen washed denim voor extra contrast.

Price distribution Nike Shox

We compare this sneaker's price with the 393 other adult versions of the Nike Shox that we track. At a lowest price of €56 this colorway is cheaper than 96% of those 393 versions. The group median sits at €117, with resale outliers up to €1.317. The chart shows exactly where this sneaker falls — the black marker — among all the others.

We always compare the lowest price a colorway is currently on sale for somewhere: the cheapest entry point, usually for one specific size. The comparison stays within the same age group, because a kids size (TD/PS/GS) is priced differently than an adult size. Because the price varies per size, your size may come out a little higher. To keep the comparison fair we leave out the most and least expensive two percent — the resale outliers, and the price axis is logarithmic so both the cheap and the pricey end stay readable. We refresh the numbers several times a day; last update 1 Sep 2026.

Hypescore × price

Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a Nike Shox colorway (of the 393 with a Hypescore): the further right, the more hype, and the higher a dot sits, the cheaper the sneaker. This sneaker is the photo with the red ring (Hypescore 41). Below the RRP they're called meltdowns: top-left the quiet price meltdowns (cheap, but little attention yet), top-right the radiating meltdowns — lots of hype and well below retail, the hottest deals. Above the RRP sit the grails: bottom-right the radiating grails (loved and pricey), and bottom-left the potential grails — pricey with little hype. That can simply be too expensive, but it's often where fresh drops and collabs appear that are too new to have gathered grail votes; their hype still has to build.
