Nike’s focus on sustainability has noticeably gone up a few gears in 2020 with the overarching Move to Zero campaign hosting a bevy of earth-friendly products crafted for the betterment of the Earth. Headlining the push for 2020 is the brand’s audacious Space Hippie lineage, but notable efforts from the brand’s NRG department — in particular, the Nike Dunk Low “Lemon Wash”— has helped the movement in leaps and bounds. Now, joining the quality-constructed Air Max 1 for Fall comes this recycled Air Max 95 NRG “Classic Green”

Though the titular color is used sparingly across the white-and-grey-based release, its prominence at the eyelets —along with the show-stealing oversized heel Swoosh — provided the pair’s biggest pop. It features a similar smooth Flyleather toe cap with and tack-on stitching to the just-released Air Force 1 Crater Foam, while uppers of canvas and overlays of recycled yarn show the pair’s key sustainable features. Underfoot, you’ll find a crisp white midsole filled with Classic Green Air supports, all of which rests atop a likely part-recycled rubber outsole. Completing the design is the NRG’s recyclable neon insoles, complete with grind rubber fleck.

Official images of this sustainable Nike Air Max 95 NRG “Classic Green” have arrived here below ahead of their expected release on October 22nd in Asia, though a US date is yet to be confirmed.
