Nike Air Max 95 SB 'Cactus Flower' (2025) reimagines the iconic Air Max 95 silhouette with skate-ready enhancements—celebrating three decades of design evolution. By preserving the classic mesh shroud, gradient sidewalls, and suede overlays, while integrating SB-specific comfort and durability features, this launch fuses heritage style with skate innovation for a standout addition to both sneaker and skate culture.
Overview
Based on the revered anatomy-inspired structure of the original Air Max 95, this SB variant retains the signature mesh lace shroud, layered suede overlays, and gradient side panels. It incorporates skateboarding enhancements such as reinforced ankle support, increased heel padding, a plusher midsole, and a gum rubber outsole for superior traction. Subtle Nike SB branding adorns the rear, tongue, and heel. The colorway—dubbed “Cactus Flower”—juxtaposes neutral tones with vibrant pink accents that pay homage to its namesake, launching globally August 2, 2025 in skate shops and later on SNKRS from August 22, 2025 at a retail price of US $175.
