Retro revivals have been a consistent part of Nike’s yearly strategy, as each year, we see a silhouette return from the dead. For 2025, Nike planned to bring back Charles Barkley’s legendary Nike Air CB 34, his third signature sneaker model inspired by Godzilla’s feet and claws. Set for its first retro run since the mid-2010s, the Triple White colorway was planned to kick off the comeback. However, Nike has scrapped their plans, and the CB 34 will no longer be released.
Retaining the same SKU as the 2016 release, which indicates it should come with the same materials and look, this Triple White colorway douses the entire sneaker in a single white shade. Leather details are present along the mudguard and midfoot panel, while the base layer comes with perforated leather. More hits of white land on the mesh tongue, lace set, lockdown strap, and along the CB 34-branded window on the tongue tag.
