The Nike Shox TL sneakers feature breathable mesh in the upper and full-length Nike Shox technology for optimal impact absorption. 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. 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 sneakers have a non-marking, solid rubber in a modified waffle outsole that provides great traction and durability. The upper is made of synthetic and textile materials.
