New Shox trainers and shoes: taking cushioning to the next level
Meet the new Nike Shox shoes, a recrafted version of the original icon. The first Shox trainers were launched in the early 2000s, with a ground-breaking design that sent shockwaves through the sports manufacturing and streetwear worlds. The innovative cushioning system took its cue from car shock absorbers, using four distinctive columns in the heel. You get more than bold looks—Nike Shox technology also delivers incredible impact absorption, supreme stability and comfort.
The latest drop of new Shox trainers stays true to the originals. We've kept the unique look of the Nike Shox TL shoes, first released in 2003, with their immediately recognisable cushioning. Making the Nike Shox cushioning system completely visible along the entire length of the sole is about more than aesthetics. It creates even cushioning and energy return across the whole foot.
Our new Shox shoes look as futuristic as they did back in the day. Expect performance footwear that combines resilient, flexible columns with moderator plates for outstanding cushioning that compresses and regains its shape. Moulded overlays throughout the midfoot offer support and a snug fit. Meanwhile, a TPU plate in the heel helps to give lateral stability and support. To maximise comfort during intense runs, breathable mesh in the uppers allows air to circulate. This also helps heat and moisture escape, so you stay cool and comfortable.
Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. To join us, choose new Nike Shox trainers with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
