The Nike Shox BB4 didn’t have Vince Carter’s name on it, but when the shoe came out in 2000, the silhouette had clear implications: the Shox unit in the heel would help you jump higher, just like it did for Vince. Of course, none of us were Vince, but that didn’t stop us from copping the shoes, and when Carter leaped for a world-bending dunk in the 2000 Olympics wearing a pair, the shoes’ powers only grew.

Raptor Vibes for VC

The Nike Shox BB4 OG in Black, Silver, and Lapis is a perfect match for Carter’s Toronto Raptors jersey. We first got word that the pair was coming back last fall, and after getting a look at the white and blue Olympic colorway earlier this month, we’ve finally got a set of solid images showing the shiny retro colorway, as well.

The Raptors-friendly colorway features slick black leather on the toe that stretches up the lace panel, onto the perforated tongue. The side panels transition to shiny metallic silver with vertical stitching running from toe to heel that turns horizontal at the back. Finally, purple Shox in the heel pop like Toronto’s ‘90s jerseys.
