The Nike Air Max 95 pays homage to the bustling metropolis of Atlanta. This collaborative effort brings together some of Georgia’s premier sneaker retailers, including Walter’s, Wish ATL, Soleplay, and A Ma Manière, to create a shoe that embodies the spirit and energy of the city.
Drawing inspiration from the mythical Phoenix, the Air Max 95 “Atlanta” features a striking orange to red gradient across its iconic wavy upper. The bold color scheme is contrasted by a dark grey anthracite midsole, T-toe, and tongue, creating a visually arresting combination that demands attention.
The exposed Air casing on the sole reveals a unique graphic, likely tied to the Southern city, while the insoles showcase a vibrant ATL-specific design. However, the standout feature is undoubtedly the 3M detail on the heel, which reveals a captivating line-work illustration of the phoenix in reflective fashion.
The Nike Air Max 95 has long been a staple in the sneaker community, and this “Atlanta” iteration is set to reinforce its status as a must-have silhouette. With its city-specific design and collaborative nature, this release is poised to generate significant buzz among sneaker aficionados and collectors alike.
Set to coincide with the annual 404 day creative celebration in Atlanta, the Nike Air Max 95 “Atlanta” will be available via SNKRS on April 4th for $185.
