The Nike Shox TL sneakers feature breathable mesh in the upper and full-length Nike Shox technology for impact absorption. This athletic style combines resilient, flexible columns with moderator plates for 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. Molded overlays throughout the midfoot provide support and a snug fit. A TPU plate in the heel helps provide lateral stability and support. It also features a foam midsole which provides lightweight cushioning. The modified waffle outsole gives great traction and durability. The upper is synthetic and textile.
