Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult skaters who value both heritage style and performance functionality, the Nike Air Max 95 x Eric Koston collaboration offers a ruggedized version of an iconic silhouette. Users benefit from enhanced durability and precise board feel, though the leather construction requires a break-in period compared to lighter, canvas-based skate shoes.

FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for everyday walking as well as skating?

Yes, while adapted for skateboarding, it retains the comfort features of the original Air Max 95, making it a versatile choice for daily wear.

How does the board feel compare to thinner vulcanized shoes?

The reduced foam provides a balance of impact protection and ground feedback, though it may feel slightly more cushioned than a traditional minimalist vulcanized skate shoe.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. The leather construction and technical adhesive components will be damaged by machine washing. Hand-cleaning is recommended.

Does the sizing run true to standard Nike Air Max 95 sizing?

Yes, these generally follow the standard size profile for the Air Max 95 series.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable leather designed to withstand the wear and tear of skateboarding.

Troubleshooting

Stiff fit during first use

Leather requires a break-in period; wear the shoes for short durations to allow the material to soften.

Decreased grip on the board

Clean the outsole lugs with a damp brush to remove dust or grit that builds up during street skating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced durability for long-term skate sessions
  • Iconic aesthetic heritage preserved in a functional skate shoe
  • Improved board feel due to reduced foam profile
  • Secure fit with high-quality leather upper

Cons

  • Leather material may feel stiff initially
  • Reduced foam might offer less impact protection for large stair sets
  • Specific design may feel heavier than minimalist vulcanized trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Air Max 95s remain in top condition, start by wearing them casually for a day or two to break in the stiff leather upper. When skating, ensure your laces are tightened securely to maintain stability.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove loose dirt after each session using a soft-bristle brush.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than soaking the shoe.
  3. Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the adhesives to weaken.
  4. Check the outsole lugs periodically for embedded debris that might affect grip quality.
