If someone at Nike asked me to pick the next Air Max model that’s up for a retro, I’d say that I would have chosen at least 74 other Air Max models before the Air Max 2.5 TL. And that’s not because I dislike it or anything - it’s more because I just don’t feel like it was ever much of a hit.

I hurt myself probably 23% of the time, and I have to take extended breaks, but the fact that (playing) basketball has been a significant part of my life (30+ years), I can play ball. And..I can run. Or jog. Or maybe it’s yog? I believe it’s called yogging. I spent several years yog
