Nike has a long history of blending its iconic sneaker designs with the needs of the skateboarding community, mainly through its Nike SB division. In 2025, multiple collabs from Nike Inc. and Nike SB are expected to hit shelves, including a new Jordan 4 SB, and the debut of the Nike SB x Air Max 95. Following a first look at the wear-test sample, images of an early sample of the Nike SB x Air Max 95 Cactus Flower have emerged.
The Nike Air Max 95, originally designed by Sergio Lozano and first released in 1995, has long been celebrated for its unique design and performance features. Known for its gradient upper, inspired by the human anatomy, and its groundbreaking use of visible Air cushioning in the forefoot, the Air Max 95 has become a staple in streetwear and athletic circles. With 2025 marking the 30th anniversary of this iconic model, Nike is planning several high-profile releases, including retros of classic colorways like the OG Neon.
