There was much hand-wringing in the offseason about the Pittsburgh Steelers; first about the void at QB and then about the man who filled that void, as commentators and critics alike remained skeptical of how the 41-year-old signal caller would perform. One truly wonders whether the fuss was worth it as the ink dries on Week 1, and the black and gold find themselves in a familiar spot, undefeated after frame one for the fifth time this decade.
We’d advise taking things slow in terms of playoff (or greater) hopes, but if you’re in a particularly celebratory mood, the Nike Air Max TL 2.5 in Steelers’ black and gold could be the perfect complement to a newly-purchased #8 jersey. Now a fixture in Nike’s retro sportstyle category, the 2006 product again relies on its typical black base, pinning streaks of yellow mesh on the sidewalls with additional sunny trim on the Swoosh, tongue, and slightly tinted within the underfoot air bubble.
The Nike Air Max TL 2.5 “Steelers” will likely hit shelves for Holiday 2025, retailing at $180. Catch retailer images below and keep an eye on our Sneaker Release Dates page to be the first to know when this pair touches down.
