The Nike Shox TL sneakers take 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. The Nike Shox technology combines resilient, flexible columns with moderator plates for outstanding cushioning that compresses and regains its shape. The upper with a 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. A foam midsole provides lightweight cushioning. The non-marking, solid rubber in a modified waffle outsole gives traction and durability. The sneakers have a synthetic and textile upper. These are athletic sneakers.
