The Nike Shox BB4 "Olympic" Returns June 2026
Quick Summary
- Nike Basketball returns the Shox BB4 "Olympic" on June 26th, 2026 for $180, celebrating Vince Carter's legendary 2000 Sydney dunk.
- The retro features a White upper with Midnight Navy overlays and Metallic Silver accents, mirroring the original Olympic colorway Carter wore.
- This release marks the 25th anniversary of Carter's Hall of Fame moment and honors designer Eric Avar's forward-thinking Shox cushioning innovation.
Nike Basketball is bringing back one of Vince Carter's most iconic silhouettes with the Shox BB4 "Olympic," set to return in Summer 2026. The shoe carries serious cultural weight, tied directly to Carter's legendary dunk over 7'2" Frédéric Weis at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, a moment that cemented both the athlete and the sneaker in basketball history. This release also arrives with added significance, marking the 25th anniversary of that performance and following Nike's recent recognition of Carter's Hall of Fame induction.
Designed by Eric Avar, the Shox BB4 was a forward-thinking silhouette built around Nike's Shox cushioning system, which used spring-loaded columns in the heel to deliver a responsive, explosive ride. The 2026 retro returns in a colorway nearly identical to the 2019 retro, featuring a White base across the upper with Midnight Navy overlays and Metallic Silver hits throughout. The combination closely mirrors what Carter wore on the court in Sydney, keeping the look authentic to the original.
The Nike Shox BB4 "Olympic" is set to release on June 26, 2026 through Nike and select Nike Basketball retailers for a retail price of $180. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
