First released in the '90s, the Air Max 95 left an indelible mark with its anatomically inspired lines, innovative synthetic materials, and neon green accents that perfectly captured the aesthetic of the era. A technical icon born for running, too advanced for skateboarding, and thus coveted and dreamed of by generations of skaters.
Today, that dream becomes reality. The Nike SB team took up the challenge: transform a running legend into a performance skate shoe, without compromising its original style.
The new Nike SB Air Max 95 retains the OG's visual DNA, but introduces more board-friendly materials like suede and premium leather in place of the original's synthetics. The iconic overlays have been lightened to improve flexibility and boardfeel, while the midsole has been modified to offer greater boardfeel and contact.
Completing the look are a herringbone outsole for optimal traction, Nike SB details on the tongue, heel and TPU midsole, and a new Summit White & Cactus colorway with a natural rubber outsole.
The result? A historic silhouette, reinterpreted for skateboarding, yet faithful to the legend that made it immortal.
