A resurgent Foamposite line has continued its evergreen presence, whilst the Swoosh has also drip-fed a few options of Scottie Pippen’s Nike Air More Uptempo. Through the has been a big focus on the era’s retro resurgence, up until recently, there’s been a big absence from the 1992/93 NBA MVP in Charles Barkley. But with this, the fourth colorway of his 1994 signature sneaker appearing, it has now become apparent that Nike will be shining the spotlight on Chuck in 2021. Here, the Swoosh returns to the classic Air Max CB 94 “Cool Grey” — a colorway last seen by retailers back in 2015.

The return of a classic, the colorway arrives as a 1:1 reissue of the original, with white leather uppers overlayed by smooth leathers in the titular hue. Slightly darker greys gear the mesh tongues, eyestays, and liners, while the pair’s midsole goes a few shades deeper again. White forefoot teeth and branding hits take a back seat to the pair’s infrequent-yet-punchy Total Orange accents at the tongue and heel Air support.
