Jared Ebanks Over the past few years, Nike has employed on-and-off retro takes of Charles Barkley’s inaugural signature silhouette. Following a lengthy hiatus throughout the second half of last year, 2023 has instead returned a number of OG colorways of the Air Max CB ’94; including this brown scale effort for fall.
The Godzilla-inspired tread and straight jacket-like upper all return to one of the most favored signature releases from throughout the early 90s. Infused with a contemporary palette, the Air Max 2-associated silhouette cures its leather underlays in a striking light tan while buttercream accents compliment the mesh tongue construction and tooth-carved midsole. The sprawling upper overlays add a decadent dark chocolate treatment to the cast of neutrals while clarifying jet-black contrasts fill the number of perforations, logos, elastic straps and tread underfoot.
Enjoy a detailed look at the Nike Air Max CB ’94 “Mocha” below while we await the pair’s expected release this holiday season.
In other news regarding retro basketball footwear, Kobe Bryant’s adidas Crazy 8 is expected to return this September.
