The Nike Shox TL brings back the 2003 icon, this time with fresh and vibrant colors. You still get the plastic overlays up top and, of course, the legendary full-length cushioning columns that are sure to turn heads once again. Fabric and synthetic upper with plastic overlays is a near-exact replica of the 2003 Nike Shox TL. Nike Shox cushioning provides distinctive impact absorption. Molded overlays on the midfoot provide support and a snug fit. TPU plate in the heel, between the midsole and the Nike Shox cushioning, helps provide lateral stability and support.
