One of the recent best-selling grey colorways is the Hyper Royal Smoke Grey. Let’s look at its aesthetics and build quality.

The Colorway Mix

Details like color choice tell a lot about a person. Let’s separately look at what the colors used in this colorway mean.

Light Smoke Grey

The grey color is associated with dignity and honor. This sneaker features a grey-colored collar and a matching Swoosh.

Hyper Royal

This colorway features a washed-out version of the hyper royal on the ankle flap, heel, eyestay and toes. The royal blue color symbolizes royalty, tranquility and empathy. Who wouldn’t want these qualities, right?

White

The white upper base and midsole represent purity, cleanliness and peacefulness. So you’ll have to take care of the shoe’s cleanliness (pun intended).

Badging

The Hyper royal Nike Tag on the tongue screams out royalty. A light grey Swoosh sign on the side profile enhances the elegance of this model. A white wings logo on the ankle flap reminds us of the legacy of the Air Jordan 1.

Build Quality

Aesthetics are important but only when they go hand in hand with quality. Let’s dissect the Nike Hyper Royal to see what you are getting for your money.

The Upper

The upper is made of suede which makes it tougher compared to shoes made from cloth fabrics. But it’s their softness and flexibility for which suede shoes are famous.

The Sole

The rubber sole of this kick gives you the grip you need in your life. Pliability makes them easier on the feet, giving you a comfortable ride. Rubber soles are reliable for traction in warm and cold conditions. When exposed to oily or wet surfaces, these babies are your best friends.

Nike Air Technology

Nike’s revolutionary Air technology comprises pressurized air inside a tough and flexible bag. This technology provides more flexibility and spring without compromising the shoe’s structure. The Air Sole Units are known for maintaining their form with elasticity and lower impact while keeping the shoe snug and lightweight.

About the designer - Peter Moore

One of the best designers from Nike’s expert team is Peter Moore. He has been the captain of Nike’s design ship since the debut Air Jordan 1 that Jordan wore in ’85. Being a top designer for one of the best-seller brands in the world means you have some of the best designs under your belt and that is true for Moore. He is credited as the designer of the Nike Dunk and Nike Air silhouettes. Truly, the Da Vinci of the sneaker world.

Final Verdict

The Hyper Royal Light Smoke Grey is worth it with all the royalty, style, quality and value it brings. A must-have for sneakerheads and collectors alike.
