The Nike Shox TL Holds On To Pastel Hues

The Nike Shox TL arrives just a bit late to Easter, adding in pastel tones rarely seen on the ergonomic silhouette. Usually dressed in all black or ornamented with chains by notable high fashion imprints, the pair is taking routes less travelled though in a framing that doesn’t stray too far from original sensibilities. Bases of white synthetic are true to form, with heel wraps, parts of the tongue, and lining following suit. The swoosh outlines in vibrant blue, a design that breaks up the mix of neutrals on the rear-placed detailing and tongue tab backdrop. Soles, however, are certainly the loudest accent as the bright Barely Volt hits comprises the majority of its pistons; small hot pink notes take up the last notches, however, matching embroidered detailing right on the toe box. Grab a detailed peek at the forthcoming iteration right below and expect to see it soon at select retailers and Nike.com.
