Nike Air Max 2 CB 94 Suns
Buy at Nike
Nike Basketball’s archives run deep, with many models from the ‘90s seeing renewed interest as those who grew up in this era now have the disposable income to reach back and grab some of the most coveted sneakers of their childhood. In 2022, Nike underwent several classic retros from the late ‘80s and ‘90s, including Charles Barkley’s Nike Air Max 2 CB 94. Following news that Bo Jackson’s Air Trainer SC High in the original Auburn colorway is making a return in 2025, Sole Retriever can confirm that Barkley’s Air Max 2 CB 94, which, as the Air Trainer SC High retroed back in 2022, is also coming back in 2025.
For this newest retro release, Nike retains the same SKU used on the 2022 version, meaning we’ll get the same material and colors as the pair from three years back. Across the upper, the model is coated in white tumbled leather, with black perforations on panels along the midfoot and collar. The Phoenix Suns’ color scheme of orange and purple is found on select details, a nod to Barkley’s time with the NBA franchise, including the purple Nike text on the midfoot, purple and orange Air Max CB 2 branding on the tongue tag, purple Nike Air text on the heel, and orange on the tongue lining.
