The Nike Air Max CB 94 "Cool Grey" Returns Holiday 2024

Nike is poised to ignite nostalgia once again this holiday season with the return of the Nike Air Max CB 94 in a "Cool Grey" colorway.

Revered by fans of '90s basketball and sneaker culture alike, this reissue pays homage to Charles Barkley's indelible mark on the NBA and the sneaker world. Having last graced shelves in 2021, the CB 94 "Cool Grey" is making a timely comeback, just as retro basketball silhouettes continue to captivate enthusiasts and collectors around the globe.

The Air Max CB 94 stands as a testament to the era when Barkley, the 1992/93 NBA MVP, dominated the hardwood. Its design, reflective of Barkley's larger-than-life persona and aggressive playstyle, features a robust build that's as commanding as the man himself. This holiday 2024 release promises to deliver a faithful recreation of the original "Cool Grey" iteration, featuring white leather uppers complemented by smooth grey leathers that give the shoe its name.

The nuanced palette of greys extends to the mesh tongues, eyestays, and liners, with the midsole adopting a slightly darker shade to add depth to the design. The sneaker's aesthetic is further enhanced by white forefoot teeth and subtle branding accents, which are boldly contrasted by the vibrant Total Orange hits on the tongue and heel's Air unit—details that punctuate the sneaker's understated elegance with a pop of color.

Enjoy a retrospective look at the release below, and expect more details on this classic's return as we move closer to the end of 2024.
