Nike Shox TL

Leave it to Nike to bring back the Shox.

Nike has been killing it lately when it comes to rereleasing sneaker models that many people had completely forgot existed. While the cool-factor of the Nike Shox can be debated for days on end, the Beaverton brand is hellbent on making it cool. Considering just how quickly the dad shoe trend caught on, Nike probably isn't too far off in thinking the spring-board shoes will make a comeback. We've seen the Nike Shox R4 model comeback and now the Nike Shox TL, which debuted in 2003, is also making a return.

The difference between the R4 and the TL is that the TL features a midsole completely made up of the springboards that distinguish the Shox from any other shoe. It's kind of like the Vapormax of its time, just not nearly as fashionable. One of the first colorways consumers can expect to see of the Nike Shox TL is a clean white and metallic silver version. The shoe features a mostly white upper while metallic silver accents can be found on the back heel and Nike swoosh.
