Nike Court Royale 2 Low White Dark Teal Green

Released on 11 November 2021 and part of the Court Royale line. This release has a leather upper in White/Dark Teal Green. Tennis is where Nike first put a professional athlete under contract: Ilie Nastase was the company's first pro endorser, and the court shoes of that era were low, white and quiet because the sport required them to be. Court Royale 2 is the direct descendant of that requirement, a plain low shoe with a white base, a stitched Swoosh and nothing else asking for attention. Dark Teal Green is the variable. It is a deep, cool green that reads almost black at a distance and only shows its colour up close, which is exactly the kind of restraint a court shoe was designed for in the first place.
