The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 "Phantom" Releases November 15

Nike’s Air Max TL 2.5, first introduced in the early 2000s as part of the “Total Air” family, is set for a much-anticipated return this Holiday 2024.

Officially announced earlier this year during Nike's massive in-depth preview, the model has resurfaced with detailed imagery and specs, sparking excitement ahead of its release.

Viewed initially purely as a sports and athletic sneaker, the Air Max TL 2.5 is like many retro runners in the current era — poised for a comeback in the lifestyle segment.

Nike confirmed the comeback of the Air Max TL 2.5 during its SNKRS Live showcase in June 2024, revealing plans to reissue the model with updated features. Among the standout colorways set to debut is the “Phantom/Total Orange-Dark Smoke Grey-Vintage Coral.” This variant pays homage to the early 2000s with its TPU exteriors and full-length Air unit, embodying the period’s design ethos with contemporary enhancements.

The Air Max TL 2.5 "Phantom" is expected to arrive at select Swoosh retailers and Nike.com on November 15th, 2024.
