Історія моди
Nike launched the Shox technology in 2000 after sixteen years of development. The design was inspired by the spring-like properties of indoor track surfaces. It gained global prominence when basketball player Vince Carter wore them during the 2000 Olympics. While initially intended for running and basketball, the silhouette became a staple in various global subcultures, including the UK grime scene and Brazilian street fashion, marking a significant era in mechanical cushioning design.
