Nike Shox technology combines resilient, flexible columns with moderator plates for outstanding cushioning that compresses and regains its shape. A combination upper with a full TPU cage is a near-exact replica of the 2003 Nike Shox TL. Molded overlays throughout the midfoot provide support and a snug fit. A TPU plate in the heel between the midsole and Nike Shox technology helps provide lateral stability and support. The Nike Shox TL takes mechanical cushioning to the next level. A recrafted version of the 2003 icon, it features breathable mesh in the upper and full-length Nike Shox technology for optimal impact absorption and a bold look on the streets.
