Launched in 2000, Nike Shocks or Nike Shox shoes bring athletes premium responsive cushioning and the ability to absorb massive impact. They are extremely comfortable as well and can be worn anywhere, not just while you are indulging in your favorite sport. These sneakers are offered in different styles and colors and come in distinct versions for men, women and kids. But before you go ahead and buy a pair of smart-looking Nike Shocks, here’s what all you need to know.

What about the technology?

The sole of Nike Shox is supported by the traditional Nike Air technology, while a range of hollow columns helps in dispersing the energy of every impact. Made of durable foam, these columns offer very smooth cushioning. The structure of the shoe is also such that athletes get to accelerate quickly, without damaging their leg joints. Nike Shocks also minimizes injuries related to impact, when you are training or playing.
