This one is gonna go triple-platinum at the Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC. As Nike continues to roll out country-specific colorways of classic silhouettes ahead of the World Cup, the latest pair takes a detour to the Puerto Rican Day Parade, with one of the best national pairs of the early year: an icy blue Shox R4 for Puerto Rico.
The Nike Shox R4 Puerto Rico is a monochrome masterpiece for the island, with a serene shade of Glacier Blue leather covering the entire upper like the clear waters of Luquillo Beach. Accents are embroidered in a two-tone mix of red and white to complete the country’s flag colorway, with an airbrush style PR hit surrounded by stars on the Shox unit and the insoles.

Nike has a long history of dropping shoes to celebrate New York City’s famous Puerto Rican Day Parade, including a couple pairs of Air Max 1s in 2023, with one in a matching shade of Glacier Blue. This time around, Nike adds a traditional Puerto Rican Vejigante mask charm hanging off the laces for more local heritage.
In addition to the PR Shox, Nike is getting set for the World Cup’s Canada, Mexico, and US takeover with pairs of Air Force 1s in Mexico and USA colorways, a matching Mexico Air Max 95, another 95 for England, and a Shox R4 colorway for Brazil.
The Nike Shox R4 Puerto Rico will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $155. For all the latest Nike World Cup product news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
