With retro sportstyle remaining very much in vogue, teeing up the Nike Air Max TL 2.5 for a return was an understandable play by the Swoosh, putting a fresh coat of paint on a silhouette that’d been an object of fascination for Nike diehards. Suffice to say, if Beaverton had hopes of the archival sneaker becoming a defining character in the modern landscape, it’s fallen a bit short to date.
However, as we’ve seen plenty before, all it really takes is one right color combination to give a shoe a shot in the arm. The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 tacitly references a previous “Varsity Red” colorway in its latest, functionally steeping all of its component shades in a darker, near-vintage atmosphere. The resulting shoe leans into its retro aesthetics without compromising an unmistakable sporty lean, a sensible choice as we look to the colder months and its typical vibrant fare retreats from view until spring.
Look for the Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “College Grey/Red Sepia” to hit the typical channels (Nike.com, partnering retailers) in short order. The standard $180 retail price is expected.
