At the height of his career, not only did Charles Barkley help the Phoenix Suns get into the NBA Finals and host his own show, he also launched his signature silhouette with Nike. Regarded by many OG basketball fans as one of the most iconic hardcourt models ever made, it's now set to return as part of the Beaverton-based brand's "Burnished" series. If you want a pair in your collection, keep it locked right here to find out everything that we know so far, including potential release information, pricing details, and so much more.
Featuring a smooth leather construction that's painted in a light iron ore hue, perforated panels make their way throughout the lateral and medial sides just like the original. Rugged eyestays give the Air Max 2 CB 94 a utilitarian aesthetic, and interestingly, the upper is decked out in airbrushed details that are unlike anything that we've seen before. Bold monarch shades take over the inner sockliner and "Nike" branding, and underfoot, you'll find an aggressively-sculpted Air midsole which comes complete with a single exposed Air bubble around the heel portion which offers unrivaled comfort and cushioning both on and off the basketball court.
The Nike Air Max 2 CB 94 Light Iron Ore Monarch is set to release in Fall 2023. It will drop at Nike, via the SNKRS app, and at select retailers worldwide, both online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $170. Even more colorways are going to be announced within the coming months, so keep it locked to our Twitter and download ourMobile App to stay up to date on future releases.
