Charles Barkley’s Nike Air Max CB 94, first released in 1994, will be re-released in a mesmerizing “Suns” color block.

The product description on the official Nike website states:

“The Nike Air Max2 CB ’94, one of legendary shoe designer Tinker Hatfield’s most iconic creations, returns with more force than ever. This high-end hardwood classic speaks for itself, combining attitude and fierce play and featuring the same smashing backboard style and redefined comfort of the 90s.”

The sneakers will come in an authentic palette of white, varsity purple, black, and total orange. It will feature a tumbled white leather construction with a black toggle cord mechanism and black dots along the side panels.

The uppers also have perforations on the toes and are adjacent to the lacing system for added breathability. A Nike render to the sides adds purple accents, while Charles Barkley’s iconic number “34” marks the medial sides of the kicks.
