[Update 1 Nov 2022] It has been announced that there will be 3 additional colorways of the Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 TL, which include a solid version of “Pink,” “Brown,” and “Black.”

Each pair has a leather and mesh construction that is finished with a full-length Air Max unit that has been replaced, similar to the Air Max 97, 3M reflective TPU overlays, and the “TL Air” insignia across the heel. Co-branded hangtags, insoles, and packaging will be included.

It is anticipated to be released globally on November 3 and in Japan on November 5 at Supreme’s brick-and-click store. Enjoy these official pictures in the meantime!

[Update 31 Oct 2022] In line with the season’s weekly Supreme releases, @dropsgg has leaked that the Supreme x Nike Air Max TL will be dropping in week 10 on 5 Nov. No other details have surfaced besides this expected release date, but we are sure official images will follow in the coming days. Be sure to check back for the latest updates!  

Among Nike’s Air Max line, the Air Max TL is the quieter, more introverted member. Released in ’99,  it was an updated version of the Air Max TL 98 with a three pressure full-length visible Air sole unit and a lightweight mesh upper. Then, the Air Max TL 99 reigned supreme for its comfort and its stylish mix of leather and mesh, but slowly fell into the shadow of other Air Max releases that were graced with popular collaborators. The premier running sneaker, dwelling in its forgotten status, was left un-retroed — until now.

Supreme is here to revive appreciation for the Nike Air Max TL, as they have done with the Nike SB Blazers. Leaked by various trusted sources (namely, @horhead_sales, @dropsbyjay & @dropsgg), this Supreme x Nike Air Max TL 99 will come in a gray/white look with a signature Total Length (hence TL) Air bubble midsole. However, it is worth nothing that the perforated sole unit is pulled from the Air Max 97. “SUPREME” makes it mark on the heel with a warp stylized logo while the TL Air Logo fits nicely into the “R” in Supreme.

If the previous Supreme x Nike collaborations are anything to go off by, it’s possible that more colorways will drop, perhaps in similar shades to the Supreme x Nike Shox collection. We expect this to be a late 2022 or early 2023 release, but as with all leaks, only time will tell.
