Original article published on March 13th, 2024: The Air Max 95 continues to assert its prominence within the Air Max lineage, with notable collaborations like last year’s partnership with Corteiz revitalizing its appeal. Future collaborations with A Ma Maniere further solidify its position in the sneaker world. However, let’s not forget – the Air Max 95 has always held its own allure.
In 2024, Nike appears poised to celebrate the silhouette with city-specific colorways. Initial images shared by Instagram user @110slad hint at a connection to Atlanta, evidenced by the “ATL” insignia on the shoe’s insoles. The upper boasts a striking combination of hot red and orange, juxtaposed against a dark grey anthracite midsole, T-toe, and tongue.
Moreover, the exposed Air unit on the sole features a new graphic, likely inspired by the Southern city. While details remain limited, it wouldn’t be surprising to see other major cities receive similar tributes.
