Nike Air Max CB 94 Black White

Similar to the other silhouettes that leapt out of the 90s era of Nike Basketball, the Air Max CB 94 was conjured up by none other than Tracey Teague. With some disputes over the shoe’s actual title, one thing for sure is that these have a supportive fan base. As the signature model for Hall of Fame Power Forward Charles Barkley, this retro gets swept up by 90s Basketball fans each and every time. Dropping back in both 2015 and even 2020, this third drop will still receive a warm welcome by fans of the Round Mound of Rebound.

The Nike Air Max CB 94 has all the lockdown you will ever need and then some; just take a look at the rigid tubular eyestays, not to mention the overlaying support straps that cover the tongue. Designed to support Barkley’s aggressive playstyle, these made for a great rugged high-top option in an era that was dominated by Timberland Boots and Air Force 1 Highs. The shoe also features “Air Max Squared” technology, named after the fact that the air unit had a PSI rating of five at the heel for more cushion, while a 25 PSI rating on the lateral and medial sides of the unit provided stability. This technology would eventually go onto the midsole of the Air Max 95 soon after, with the sole underneath more obviously stating the shoe’s differing PSI levels. This “Varsity Purple” version of the Air Max CB 94 is the most famous of the silhouette’s colourways and does well to highlight the various forms of thoughtful design, whether that be the gusseted tongue, nylon lace cover or air max unit.
