The Nike Shox TL is a retro running shoe built around a tall midsole of exposed Shox columns, with a molded cage holding the upper panels in place. This 'Tattoo Black' version puts a muted purple on the upper panels and collar, with black on the cage, midsole and column array. It suits people who want a bold, early-2000s silhouette for casual wear rather than serious running. Against modern cushioned trainers, the Shox columns give a firmer, springier ride and a heavier feel, and the tall stack makes it less stable for sport.

The Nike Shox TL has a tall sole unit built from exposed columns. A molded cage sits above it and holds the upper panels against the sole.
The 'Tattoo Black' colorway has a muted purple upper, with black on the cage, midsole and column array. The purple sits on the panels and collar and does not spread into the sole.
Perforations across the toe box and midfoot let air in under the cage.
