Toronto, ON - For the first time
ever, Canadian ballers and sneakerheads have an opportunity
to get their hands on the exclusive Vince Carter IV.
The Nike Shox VC IV basketball system is inspired by Vince
Carter of the Toronto Raptors, one of basketball's most high
flying, exciting and dynamic players. "With the VC IV
we've combined a 6-column Shox system with forefoot Zoom Air
to provide superior heel to toe transition to help translate
Vince's energy into smooth, explosive elevation," says
Tracy Teague, Footwear Design Director of Nike Basketball
and VC4 designer. "There are several musical connotations
in the VC IV from the Treble Clef and Forte' symbol on the
outsole, to the music bar and percussion notes on the upper.
We've tried to bring another side of Vince into the overall
design execution."
The 4th edition of the Vince Carter signature sneaker is
exclusive to Canada and now more accessible to consumers with
a retail price of $179.99 (CDN funds). "Nike Shox VC
IV is designed to propel one of the game's best players to
the highest levels of explosiveness, responsiveness and quickness,"
says Derek Kent, Head of Corporate Communications, Nike Canada.
"Vince is a tremendous athlete and we are thrilled that
he is introducing an exclusive colourway to Canada."
