Stealthy Blue Layered Sneakers

Nike Drops an Air Max TL 2.5 in a Hyper Royal Colorway

Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Air Max TL 2.5 sneaker model in a Hyper Royal colorway palette. It blends bold hues of Hyper Royal with accents of Metallic Silver to join. The silhouette retains its layered design throughout the upper with a mesh base foundation.

It is joined by a synthetic build which coats the sleek line of the model. The metallic touch joins the grey color at the Max Air branding accent. It continues at the toe panels and at the 2006 detail seen near the lacing system. This is direct nod to the year that the shoe was originally launched. The official launch date for the new colorway has yet to be announced.
