The Nike Shox NZ Black White features a black and white mesh and leather upper with deep black tones dominating almost the entirety of the upper panels, broken up only by stark white accents on the tongue, sides, or back of the silhouette in minimalist patterns. Nike's "Shox" technology in the midsole pillars provides both cushioned support and impact resistance. The design is completed with "Shox" branding and a hiking-style lacing system. Released in January 2017 at a retail price of $125, this sneaker upgrades the original design to create a faster and lighter alternative. It boasts a leather and mesh construction with a ghillie lacing system to secure the foot, phylon foam, an updated four-column support system below the heel, and a BRS 1000 carbon rubber outsole.
