Retro revivals have been a consistent part of Nike’s yearly strategy, as each year, we see a silhouette return from the dead. For 2025, Nike is bringing back Charles Barkley’s legendary Nike Air CB 34, his third signature sneaker model inspired by Godzilla’s feet and claws. For its first retro run since the mid-2010s, Nike is bringing back the Triple White colorway.
Retaining the same SKU as the 2016 release, which indicates it should come with the same materials and look, this Triple White colorway douses the entire sneaker in a single white shade. Leather details are present along the mudguard and midfoot panel, while the base layer comes with perforated leather. More hits of white land on the mesh tongue, lace set, lockdown strap, and along the CB 34-branded window on the tongue tag. Like other Charles Barkley sneakers, the heel features a nylon pull tab attached to the leather heel tab that contains tonal Nike Air embroidery. Underfoot, the foam midsole, inspired by Godzilla, takes on a white foam finish and features a Max Air unit in the heel. Finishing the design is the tonal rubber outsole that contains Chuck’s nickname, Sir Charles, split between the left and right shoe.
The Nike Air CB 34 Triple White will release in Fall 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $150.
