Nike Air Max TL 2.5 "Hyper Royal" HM8818-400

The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “Hyper Royal” brings a crisp, monochrome finish to a retro runner that’s back from the 2000s archives. With its sculpted overlays, visible Air cushioning, and tech-inspired panelling, the silhouette stays faithful to the early Y2K era—only this time, it goes full tonal in a saturated royal blue from heel to toe.

Textile mesh and synthetic leather take turns across the upper, blending breathability and structure. The layered design shows off the wavy DNA that defined the TL series, while the rich blue finish stretches across everything—laces, Swoosh, lining, and outsole—for a unified look.

Underfoot, full-length Max Air cushioning runs the length of the shoe, delivering a soft, slightly bouncy ride. It’s a comfortable base whether you’re on the move or posting up for the day. The chunky midsole and segmented rubber outsole bring that early 2000s attitude back in a way that still feels relevant now.

While the all-blue setup makes a statement on its own, it also leaves room to play. Swap in contrast laces to rep your team or break up the block colour. White, orange, or even volt all add different energy to the same bold base.

The Air Max TL 2.5 “Hyper Royal” brings back an underappreciated classic and gives it a loud, confident update. It’s unapologetic, sporty, and primed for summer rotation. Don’t sleep—this colourway won’t stay quiet for long.
