The Nike SB team released their debut pair of the Air Max 95 last month, modifying the shoe for a more skate-ready fit and design. Now, new colorways are on the horizon, like this “Cacao Wow” pair slated for Spring 2026 that surfaced this week.
The SB-ification of iconic Nike sneakers is one of the best projects from the Swoosh ion recent years. It started in 2023 when the SB team delivered their version of the Air Jordan 4. The silhouette was identical to the standard version from the exterior, but made small changes to the inner working to make them more appropriate for regular skating. Then, we got word of another remake, this time featuring the Air Max 95. We’ve been hearing about this SB style for months, and they finally released to the public in August with the “Cactus Flower” colorway.
Our latest early look at a pair of Nike SB”s Air Max 95 ditches the colorful pink accents of the debut release in favor of a clean, neutral color palette. Dubbed “Cacao Wow”, this pair features a combination of nubuck and leather layers for the upper, which are cast in the shoe’s classic gradient blocking. The midsole starts in black, and the color fades into brown and then white for the top of the shoe. The chocolatey brown shade makes up the eyelets and Swoosh detailing, with SB branding on the heels and a 3M fleurish to complete the look.
