Nike SB Air Max 95 Cacao Wow is Dipped In Suede Earth Tones

Nike can’t get enough of the Air Max 95, and neither can we. Three decades after Sergio Lozano’s human anatomy-inspired design first hit shelves, the silhouette has become one of The Swoosh’s most iconic models. To celebrate 30 years of heat, Nike has dropped a slew of colorways, collaborations, and most notably, retooled it for the SB label, turning the runner into a performance skate shoe.

The latest SB 95 colorway is sweet as chocolate, featuring Cacao Wow shades in its brown and grey suede construction. The toebox is a dark grey suede on the t-toe, giving way to white mesh on the upper and gradient suede side panels that move from light grey at the top into light brown, dark brown, and then back to dark grey just above the black midsole. Keeping with the chocolate theme, the lace loops and Air Max tongue logo are done in dark brown. Because this 95 is made for skating, the ankle has added padding, the sole is grippier, and the foot sits a little deeper into the sole.

After the sold-out release of the Cactus Flower debut Nike SB 95 earlier this summer, and an Eric Koston-designed Michigan blue colorway to be released before the year is over, the Cacao Wow colorway is just the third SB 95 to pop up. Despite the limited release, the SB 95 has already seen its share of controversy, with some ripped suede and a skate history debate already turning the new model into one of the most polarizing shoes of the year.

The Nike SB Air Max 95 Cacao Wow will be released sometime in Spring 2026, through skate shops with Nike SB accounts and select Nike retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $185. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
