The left one seems to have a different inscription (ending with "a", according to the key from Neo Darwin's answer). Is there an image showing it in full?

User UNITBlackArchive on Reddit identified the writing (in the Wakandan alphabet that was devised by Hannah Beachler) as
heir t'chaka
Presumably this is a pun on Air Jordan

So the answer to the question "How many easter eggs can you put into a pair of shoes and still walk comfortably?" seems to be "At least 2" (Air Jordan; Back to the Future).

Isn't T'Challa already king at the point Shuri gives him the shoes though?

@Valorum Fair point, I misread and thought they said heir t'challa for some reason.

These are letters from the Wakandan alphabet that was made for the film:
In that language the shoes say heir (in lowercase).
Very cool touch imo. It perfectly describes King T'Challa. Really well done.

So is written Wakandan like Aurebesh, just a different script of English? Or does it just happen that "heir" is an English loanword? Or just Shuri's joke?

It's just a visual joke - I wouldn't read too much into it
