Coming Soon: Nike SB Air Max 95
For years the Nike Air Max trainers have had a close relationship with skating and next week the two worlds collide.
It's no secret that skate shoes since the 90s have pilfered and stolen cues from running trainers and basketball shoes but only in recent years have Nike SB officially merged these departments with skating. We've had the Nike SB Air Jordan 4 and now SB are introducing the Nike SB Air Max 95 - a skateable update on a classic silhouette.
Nike SB Air Max 95 - What's New?
While many have tried, the original 95s weren't great for skating in, the soles didn't quite work and finishes were prone to getting keefed and torn up. Enter the Nike SB Air Max 95, a version rebuilt from the ground up for skating. On the outside it still looks like the original but the new build means it's better for skating and as Koston puts it himself "It's way more comfortable."
This improvement in skateability and comfort is down to some important changes. The SB versions of the 95 have removed some of the internal padding and lug on the outsole to put your feet closer to the board, while also making elements of the mid-sole softer, giving you more board feel and increasing the comfort while skating. Nike SB also switched out the raw edges on the panelling with folded in the edges and double stitched to make each element last as long as possible. In layman's terms, the Nike SB Air Max 95 is more more comfortable, has better board feel and will last longer than skating a normal pair of 95s (or 110s depending on who you ask).
