I went to NikeId to design some shoes, chose the Shox R4's. Whenit was all said and done they wanted $170.00. Changed my mind. Went on Ebay and found some R4's All black for alot cheaper. I like them so far, authentic off the shelf all black shoes with only a little white reflective on the toe and heels (easily covered by marker). I hope they last the year I am concerned about the shox blowing out.
