This Nike Shox TL “Hyper Royal” Is Missing Orange Laces

This shade of sporty royal may be common across professional sports teams across the globe, but a touch of orange immediately signals New York franchises (well, at least half of them). The Knicks, Mets, and Islanders all proudly don this blue shade companioned by the citrus hue, so what’s stopping you from a simple lace swap on this upcoming Nike Shox TL?

The early/mid-2000s running shoe has been having an outstanding second life in the late 2010s and well into the 2020s, so much that its influence can be seen on new models from competing brands. Shox truly marked that last bold era of Nike innovation in cushion before the industry as a whole shifted to foam-based platforms in the late 2000s, which is probably why the OG models continue to not only hit nostalgic notes, but attract the younger demographic looking for that gaudy, external tech.

Whether you’re NY sports loyalists or not, this Shox TL has high appeal with or without our suggested lace-swap. Find these on Nike.com and partnering Swoosh retailers soon for $170.
