Up for sale is a strictly deadstock, incredibly fresh pair of the crossover Nike SB Air Max 95s in the highly versatile Black/Cacao Wow-Anthracite colourway.

Key Features:
Upper: Classic AM95 gradient side panels featuring premium suede and breathable white mesh, transitioning from a dark anthracite toe box up to lighter greys.
Details: "Cacao Wow" (chocolate brown) lace loops and tongue detailing provide the perfect earthy contrast.
Branding: Distinctive "NIKE SB AIR" branding on the heel tabs, combined with the classic "airmax" badge on the tongue. A translucent outsole shank reveals further Nike SB branding underneath.
Sole Unit: Deep black midsole equipped with the iconic visible Air max cushioning in the forefoot and heel, modified with a durable rubber outsole for enhanced grip.
Brand History & Design Legacy:
Originally designed by Sergio Lozano in 1995, the Air Max 95 was famously inspired by human anatomy—with the lacing system representing ribs, the outsole as the spine, and the layered suede/mesh panels mimicking muscle fibres. It became an instant streetwear staple. Fast forward to the present, and Nike SB (Nike’s dedicated skateboarding division, launched in 2002) has remixed this iconic runner. By infusing the AM95 with skate-ready durability and signature SB branding, Nike has created a monumental crossover that pays homage to both British streetwear culture and global skate heritage.
How to Style:
Given the chunky, layered aesthetic of the Air Max 95 and its skateboarding pedigree, these sneakers demand to be the focal point of a relaxed, streetwear-heavy fit.
Trousers: Pair them with wide-leg, relaxed-fit bottoms. Think heavy canvas workwear pants (like Carhartt Double Knees), loose parachute trousers, or baggy, light-wash denim. Avoid skinny or slim-fit jeans, as the proportions of the shoe are too bulky.
Tops: Keep it utilitarian and layered. A crisp oversized graphic tee layered underneath a heavyweight zip-up hoodie or a technical gilet complements the retro-athletic vibe.
Colour Palette: Let the shoes do the talking. Stick to a monochrome or neutral earth-toned palette (blacks, greys, olives, or browns) to perfectly highlight the "Cacao Wow" and "Anthracite" details on the sneakers.
Shipping & Dispatch:
Shoes will be shipped double-boxed to ensure the original Nike SB box remains in perfect condition during transit.
