Nike’s Air Max line is back in full force. After celebrating anniversaries for the Air Max 1 and 97 in recent years, the Swoosh is now focusing on the 95. Next month, they will introduce this mismatched LA versus NYC colorway.
The Air Max 95 is one of the crown jewels in Nike’s collection or air-supported sneakers. The silhouette, originally from 1995 as the name implies, was a pivotal point in the Air Max franchise. The wavy upper was a stark departure from the previous entries in the line, though in the mid-90’s this ended up as a huge bonus for the Swoosh. The 95’s chunky look and higher cut quickly made it a favorite among Airheads, while all the possible color combinations helped cement the silhouette as a Nike classic.
This month, Nike has unveiled an exciting new project utilizing the Air Max 95. Though the official title for this pair is not yet known, it is currently dubbed the “LA vs. NYC”, due to the mismatched colors on each shoe. To begin, both the left and right Air Max 95 is dipped in an all-black base layer. The right shoe will feature blue and orange colored eyelets and laces representing the Knicks, while the right shoe will feature the same details in purple and yellow for the Lakers. The Air Max pill logo on the tongue shows the opposing teams colors, while each insole is branded with the name of one city.
