The Nike Shox TL features breathable mesh and full-length Nike Shox technology for impact absorption. The design combines resilient, flexible columns with moderator plates for cushioning that compresses and regains its shape. It features a combination upper with a full TPU cage, molded overlays throughout the midfoot for support, and a TPU plate in the heel between the midsole and Nike Shox technology for lateral stability. The sneakers have a foam midsole and a rubber outsole. They are athletic and have a lace-up closure.
