Shox is technology developed
by Nike and incorporated into
several of their flagship
athletic shoes. Shox are small
hollow columns that make up
the midsole of the shoe. They
are mostly made of rubber.
There are many different
formations that Shox come in,
but they usually come with
four circular columns in a
square formation for
maximum cushioning. There
can also be five or six Shox
that vary in height, and
triangular and rectangular
Shox that provide better
stability. Some shoes have
midsoles made entirely of
Shox, like the TL series.
