It’s nothing new for Nike to borrow distinguished colorways from its extensive Air Max catalog for other product lines. Most recently, we’ve seen the Air Jordan 1 adopt the Air Max 95’s famed Neon thematic, and the Nike SB dunk tackled the Air Max 90’s OG “Infrared” release. The most borrowed, though, is unequivocally the Air Max Plus’ OG “Sunset” / “Tiger” theme — but the silhouette’s other “Hyper Blue” OG is not without its fair share of transfer. That’s exactly where we find ourselves with this Nike Shox TL, which takes the famed sky-like blue gradient upper, along with a similar-to-OG soft-hued Swoosh and stark black cage overlays. Like accents including black-tipped tongues, black liners and black rubber outsoles add to the aesthetic, while all-new features like white mesh toes and a rich Racer Blue Shox system make the colorway just different enough.
Enjoy the official images of this “Racer Blue” Shox TL here below, and if you’re interested in a pair, you can find sizes still available right here on Finish Line for $170.
