Here's Everything We Know About the Nike SB Air Max 95
The Nike SB Air Max is creeping closer, and finally the best look yet at the 'Cactus Flower' has emerged. There's still no drop date yet, so while you wait peep the video below.
Following an incredibly hazy leaked look, another set of imagery has emerged of the Nike SB x Air Max 95. This time, it shows off the leaked 'Cactus Flower' iteration that was initially rumoured last year. Peruse the shots below and keep it locked for further details.
The very first look at the Nike SB Nike Air Max 95 is here! The video from shows off a standard wear test AM95 that from looks alone seems not too different from the Nike model. The outsole definitely has additional grip added and the upper looks to have more padding added for durability. This is a super early sample, so don't fret if it seems disappointing! The model will go through more testing phases and it's unlikely this is an actual colourway.
More news has emerged surrounding the Nike SB x Air Max 95, this time stating that the 'Speed Yellow' variant will be a three-way collaboration with long-time Nike SB skater Eric Koston. There's been no more word on release dates or any official confirmation, but stay locked to Sneaker Freaker to keep updated.
Ever since initial word emerged last year, there's been silence on the Nike SB x Nike Air Max 95 front, until now. Another colourway has been rumoured to drop alongside the 'Cactus Flower' and it has been dubbed 'Obsidian/Speed Yellow'. A holiday season drop is looking to be most likely for these as Nike are still yet to confirm their existence.
The Nike SB Air Max 95 has circled back into the rumour mill again as we get ever close into 2025. Speculative mockups have emerged of a 'Cactus Flower' colourway that is allegedly landing toward the back-half of next year. A SKU code has surfaced for this iteration, which further hints that these are heading into the final stages of release at the Beaverton campus. So far, Nike are yet to officially comment on anything to do with a Nike SB Air Max 95, but stay locked to Sneaker Freaker to keep updated.
Yep, you read that title correctly, according to , there’s an upcoming in-brand collaboration between Nike SB and the Air Max line. The source has stated that the perennial Air Max 95 will be decked out in a skate-ready build, potentially arriving for 2025, which is the AM95’s 30th anniversary.
Next year is set to be gargantuan for the Air Max 95, and we’re already expecting a flurry of retros. Aside from this Nike SB collaboration, you should expect the return of the ‘Neon’ in true-to-OG proportions, similarly to 2023’s remake of the big-bubbled 1986 Air Max 1. While always remaining a classic and never leaving shelves of sneaker stores, the Air Max 95 has experienced bolstered cultural cache in the past few years. Collaborations with the likes of Corteiz have pushed the timeless silhouette back into the hype cycle, with rumours the 95 is set to receive linkups with Central Cee and a Stash retro.
So far, Nike are yet to officially confirm the existence of the Nike SB x Air Max 95 as of yet, but we can only imagine this colab will see a similar concept to the AJ4 that took the world by storm in 2023. Expect plenty of tweaks to the 1995 model to make the Air-injected classic as skateable as possible. Unlike the 2023 Nike SB x Air Jordan 4, the AM95 doesn’t have a massive history in the skate scene, but did inspire the DC Legacy.
