The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 Appears in A Bold, Tonal "Hyper Royal"

Despite being overshadowed by other silhouettes with visible Air cushioning, the Nike Air Max TL 2.5 has enjoyed an extended period in the spotlight over the last year. A number of refreshing color schemes followed a high-fashion crossover—courtesy of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS—which will soon include a "Hyper Royal/Metallic Silver" option.

Reminiscent of A-COLD-WALL*'s "Varsity Royal" Air Max Plus from Fall 2023, the newly-surfaced style features a tonal finish across its running-informed upper and Air Max-assisted tooling underfoot. Branding elements and reflective accents across the top-half deviate from their surroundings, introducing a shimmering silver finish into the mix. The full-length Air bubble, however, falls in line with the majority of the sneaker, rounding out one of the silhouette's most eyebrow-raising looks yet.

Enjoy official photos of the pair below. The blue-covered Air Max TL 2.5 is expected to release via Nike.com by October for $180.
