Even essentially the most stringent Shox followers probably couldn’t have predicted the sheer depth of Nike’s retro efforts for the cushioning tech, changing into a frequent sight all through the Swoosh’s catalog over the previous yr and alter. The Shox TL together with the Shox R4 have equally turn out to be the defining faces of that motion, with the previous silhouette now taking over a cerulean-coated “Obsidian” colorway.
Eschewing the gradient seems which have outlined most of the mannequin’s current seems (learn: prior to now few months), as an alternative the shoe opts for a smattering of oceanic colours. The titular “Obsidian” navy coats the round mesh underpinnings with a lighter royal coating the heartier again and forefoot panels. To spherical out what’s basically a tri-tone higher, child blue takes over the liner and the midsole swatch below the heel. Lastly, to really spherical out what this shoe brings to the desk, the silhouette’s Y2K origins are on show with the “Metallic Silver” shot unit and sole.
The Nike Shox TL “Obsidian” will launch as part of Nike’s persevering with Summer season/Fall efforts, retailing for the same old $170 sticker value.
