Nike Shox TL "Metallic Hematite" AV3595-002

Nike brings back one of its boldest silhouettes with the Shox TL “Metallic Hematite.” First introduced in 2003, the TL version dials everything up, especially underfoot. While the original Shox featured pillar cushioning in select zones, this edition covers the entire sole with spring-loaded columns. That full-length setup doesn’t just look aggressive—it delivers consistent impact protection from heel to toe.

The upper wraps the foot in breathable mesh, layered with tonal synthetic overlays that keep things structured without adding unnecessary weight. The dark metallic finish gives it a near-armour-like feel, balancing sport function with a street-ready edge. The Swoosh hits quietly along the side, letting the silhouette and tooling do most of the talking.

Nike originally designed the Shox for athletes chasing bounce-back energy, but the TL turns that performance tech into something visually unapologetic. It feels fast even when standing still, and the mechanical sole doesn’t just absorb force—it invites attention.

Whether you remember these from the early 2000s or you’re seeing them for the first time, this “Metallic Hematite” version captures everything that made the Shox series different. It doesn’t follow trends—it brings its own.

Loud, built for comfort, and made to stand out, the Nike Shox TL steps back in with all the presence of its original run—this time with a darker edge and bigger attitude.
