Nike Shox TL "Black/Varsity Maize" IF7119-001

The Nike Shox TL “Black/Varsity Maize” reintroduces a Y2K-era favourite with a new attitude. First launched in 2003, the Shox TL stood out for its wild tech-inspired look and full-length mechanical cushioning. This latest version doesn’t stray from that energy—it just sharpens the edges.

A glossy black mesh upper keeps things breathable but moody, wrapping around the foot with shiny TPU overlays for extra structure. The layered profile gives the silhouette its signature aggressive stance, while metallic silver Swooshes and reflective panels on the heel break up the darkness with sleek contrast. Hits of “Varsity Maize” appear on the Shox columns and lace loops, giving the colourway its punch. It’s a nod to bold sports colour palettes from the early 2000s—eye-catching but grounded.

Small details make a difference here. You’ll find a flash of pink on the Shox logo, tucked into the heel for a subtle but playful switch-up. The full-length Shox cushioning still provides that springy ride underfoot, and the durable rubber outsole ensures grip across everyday surfaces.

Whether you remember this one from back in the day or you’re discovering it for the first time, the Shox TL “Black/Varsity Maize” walks the line between nostalgia and streetwear relevance with ease.
