The Nike Shox TL in the White / Metallic Silver colorway (stylecode AR3566-100) is one of those sneakers you immediately have an opinion about. This women’s edition brings back the chunky Y2K runner with a fresh white-and-silver look, and it’s already available from [sz_price_from stylecode=”AR3566-100″].
The first thing that stands out to me about the Shox TL is the heel. The four Shox columns sit prominently beneath the rear of the shoe, instantly creating its unmistakable silhouette. “TL” stands for Total, and you can tell: this isn’t a subtle sneaker, but a statement piece you put on deliberately. Even so, it doesn’t feel over the top, partly thanks to the understated color scheme.
The colorway: white with silver accents
The base is bright white, with silver and metallic details layered over it to give the sneaker a little extra shine. It’s a surprisingly versatile combination. White remains an easy foundation, while the metallic touch keeps the shoe from looking flat or boring. In bright daylight, the silver catches the light just enough, creating a nice contrast with the upper’s futuristic shapes.
Fit and comfort
In terms of fit, the Shox TL feels true to size to me, so you can expect your usual Nike size. The upper combines several materials with plenty of structure, keeping your foot securely in place. The Shox heel provides firm, springy support that feels different from a traditional foam midsole. It may take a little getting used to, but it works perfectly well for everyday wear. I see it mainly as a weekday sneaker: for running errands, heading into the city, or casual plans.
Would I wear it myself?
Honestly? I think I would. The chunky shape won’t be for everyone, but that exaggerated look is exactly what makes it fun. I’d pair it with simple baggy jeans or sweatpants—something that lets the sneaker do the talking. The white-and-silver colorway is neutral enough to work with plenty of outfits, while the silhouette adds just a touch of character to your look. If you’re into the Y2K comeback, this one is right up your alley.
It pays to compare prices
The Shox TL is now widely available, and prices vary considerably from one webshop to another. At the moment, the lowest price is around [sz_price_from stylecode=”AR3566-100″], but that depends on the size and retailer. So before you place your order, it’s worth checking where your size is available at the best price. On Solezilla, you can compare prices and available sizes from various Dutch shops in one overview, so you don’t end up paying too much for exactly the same sneaker.
