The Air Max 95 “Cherry Blossom” Boasts Blooming Prints and Pixelated Panels

It’d be nice to be in Japan right about now — not just for the breathtaking views and ready-to-burst Cherry Blossoms that make the Pacific nation so picturesque, but also for the fact that the sneaker-loving nation has been getting some killer exclusive releases over the past few days. First, we saw a second-successive tribute to the nation’s biggest landmark with a limited “Mt. Fuji” Air Max 95 Utility, and now it has been backed up by another oh-so-imperial “Cherry Blossom” Air Max 95.

Channeling the picturesque plant, the pair arrives with heavy usage of black, in reference to the tree’s trunk and branches, with the laces, toe caps and sole units all finished with slight flecking. The pair’s upper features a blooming floral graphic which is accentuated thanks to the pair’s translucent ripstop casing. Above that, you’ll find alternating red and black PVC overlays, each adorning pixelated pictures of what one can only assume started out as more blossoms. A similar finish is added to the tongue branding, while the pair’s profile and heel motifs arrive in hot pink. Underfoot you’ll find more Cherry Blossom prints, and the pair is capped off with a special Nike Tokyo hangtag.

Pairs of these women’s-exclusives shock-dropped on SNKRS just one day after the Fujis, but for those unlucky ladies on the island nation who missed out, there is another opportunity coming. A wider release is pegged for March 14th — again only within the Japanese nation. A wider release is unlikely, but you just know pairs will be popping up here on StockX very soon.
