Thanks to Nike SB, the Air Max 95 sneaker gets the chance to be a skate shoe.

The skateboarding imprint is releasing its own Air Max 95 collaboration, taking the classic running sneaker from the track to the skate park.

Official images of the collab reveal a seriously skate-ready take equipped with a thicker-than-normal build and grippy gum soles. There are also a few Nike SB stamps throughout, of course.

Additionally, the collaborative Air Max 95 sneakers feature cool reflective details that will likely come in handy for those late-night sessions.

For the most part, though, Nike SB's effort largely maintains the original Air Max 95 look, including its layered upper, anatomy-inspired lacing system, and giant bubble soles.

It's all wrapped in a fun pink colorway called "Cactus Flower," which has been applied to other Nike models, including a previous general-release Air Max 95.

The iconic Air Max model turns 30 this year and has already received many great gifts, including raw denim from Levi's and even Liverpool gear. Nike SB has now turned it into a classic treat for the skater bois.

After rumors, early leaks, and much anticipation, the Nike SB x Air Max 95 "Cactus Flower" sneaker is expected to finally drop on Nike's website in August.

And Nike's skateboarding line plans to keep the momentum going with its skate-able Air Maxes. That's right, there's more where that came from.

Skater Eric Koston is rumored to release his own Nike SB x Air Max 95 sneaker later this year. And then, a "Cacao Wow" version of the Air Max 95 collab is rumored to drop in 2026.
