Nike Air Max 2 CB '94 OG Black White Purple (2023) FQ8233-001

The Nike Air Max 2 CB 94 Black White Purple (2020) is a stylish addition to the Charles Barkley signature sneaker line. Part of the Nike Air Max 2 CB 94 collection, this shoe features a sleek Black/White-Varsity Purple color scheme that adds a touch of elegance.

The Air Max CB 94, like other iconic Nike Basketball sneakers from the 90s, was masterfully designed by Tracey Teague. While there may be some debate about its official name, there’s no denying the dedicated fan base it has garnered.

As the signature shoe of Hall of Fame Power Forward Charles Barkley, this retro model continues to captivate fans of 90s basketball. Its re-release in 2015 and 2020 was met with enthusiasm, and this upcoming drop will undoubtedly receive a warm welcome from supporters of the Round Mound of Rebound.

The Nike Air Max CB 94 delivers exceptional lockdown and support with its rigid tubular eyestays and overlaying support straps that extend over the tongue.

It was specifically designed to complement Barkley’s aggressive playing style and stood out as a rugged high-top option during an era dominated by Timberland Boots and Air Force 1 Highs.

Notably, the shoe incorporates “Air Max Squared” technology, named after its heel’s five PSI cushioning and 25 PSI stability ratings on the lateral and medial sides.

This innovative technology later influenced the midsole of the Air Max 95, clearly displaying differing PSI levels on the sole. The “Varsity Purple” version of the Air Max CB 94 stands as the most iconic colourway, showcasing thoughtful design elements such as the gusseted tongue, nylon lace cover, and air max unit.

The Nike Air Max CB 94 in this edition showcases a pristine White leather upper complemented by Black nubuck overlays and tasteful Varsity Purple accents on the tongue.

Notable design elements include stylish spotty perforations on the nubuck overlays, a convenient quick lacing system secured by a fit strap inspired by straightjackets, prominent Nike branding on the heel and sides, and the iconic Air Max logo on the tongue.

The design is completed by a sleek Black and White sole unit featuring a visible Max Air unit positioned at the heel for enhanced cushioning and comfort.
