Nike Air Shox TL3 is different from the other Nike Shox shoes series, the mid soles of Nike Shox TL3 were made entirely of the columns.Shox TL3 works the same way just like the former shox series. The top plate distributes the impact from the heel to the columns. And the Nike Shox is a secure base for heel to toe transition. The columns absorb the energy from the impact quickly, and then slowly return the energy and to their original height. The nike shox tl3 shoe has the responsive cushioning.
