The Nike Shox TL sneakers showcase mechanical cushioning. This edition is a recrafted version of the 2003 icon with breathable mesh 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 combination upper with a full TPU cage is a near-exact replica of the 2003 Nike Shox TL. These sneakers have molded overlays throughout the midfoot for support and a snug fit. A TPU plate in the heel between the foam midsole and Nike Shox technology helps provide lateral stability and support. These are athletic sneakers with lace-up.
