Why We Love This Deal
Nike just quietly launched another round of fresh markdowns before the year’s end, allowing shoppers to walk away with sneakers, loungewear, and sporting goods for an extra 25% off. Of the deals, few stand out more than the nostalgic Nike Shox TL. This wildly popular retro sneaker is back in the spotlight, and right now, it's sitting at one of the lowest prices around.
Nike’s Shox TL Sneakers are on sale for as low as $96 on the brand’s website, thanks to the extra 25% discount you get when you enter the code GIFTS at checkout. These kicks are becoming just as popular and hype-worthy now as they were nearly 25 years ago, when their silhouette rose to cultural fame. They're available in 11 colors, but the Silver/Wolf Grey option is the best deal.

First hitting the shelves in 2003, the Shox were quite the sneaker style statement, with their distinctive spring-loaded columns that gave them a futuristic look. They became a go-to staple for everybody from sneakerheads to gym rats and even waitresses who wanted to rock the freshest trends. That look is perfectly preserved with Nike’s latest offerings.
Popular products, brands, and gear from the '90s and early 2000s have mounted a massive comeback, and one of the latest is Nike's Shox. This TL (total) model uses the iconic spring columns from heel to toe, perfectly paired with breathable mesh, and features the same aggressive, futuristic design as the original 2003 models, with colors that are as on point as ever.
And while OG fans know they’re not made for performance, these fashion staples can be worn with joggers, cargos, hoodies, and virtually every winter fit. And though you may not be setting any running PRs in them, they are still comfortable enough to wear all day long.

What Wearers Are Saying
With over 120 five-star ratings already, fans both old and new are loving just how similar they are to their original, despite slightly improved comfort.
One old-school owner went on to say, “The magic is still there” in these newer Shox, and after owning over a dozen others over the years, they said this gen is on point. While they noted that the shock absorbers are a little firm, they were quick to point out that “it is a hallmark of the Shox brand,” which everyone understands.
Nike’s current sale ends Dec. 13, but we wouldn't wait around for the last day of the sale to get a pair of Shox TLs. Grab your favorite size and color today, and get ready for some major nostalgia.
