Nike Shox technology combines resilient, flexible columns with moderator plates for outstanding cushioning that compresses and regains its shape. A 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. Non-marking, solid rubber in a modified waffle outsole gives great traction and durability.
