Product Information

Full details

Designed for sneaker enthusiasts and those who appreciate the intersection of skate culture and classic athletic silhouettes, the Nike Air Max 95 SB Eric Koston offers a unique blend of heritage performance and modern aesthetic. These trainers feature a premium leather construction with an Obsidian and Speed Yellow colorway that provides a striking look suitable for casual wear or light activity. A primary caveat to consider is that the aggressive, layered shape of the Air Max 95 may feel more structured than modern minimalist sneakers, requiring a brief break-in period for optimal comfort.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard Nike sizing, though the leather upper may feel firmer initially than mesh trainers.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

While influenced by skate culture, they are primarily styled as lifestyle trainers. Their leather construction is durable, but they lack some of the specific technical features found in dedicated professional skate shoes.

How do I maintain the yellow accents?

Use a soft brush to remove dust and a clean, damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that could cause the yellow pigment to fade.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper is crafted from premium leather, providing a structured and durable finish.

Is the sole designed for specific surfaces?

The rubber outsole is designed for versatile use on standard city surfaces, providing reliable traction.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty putting on the shoes due to firm structure

Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and use a shoehorn to prevent crushing the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Max 95 trainers, proper care is essential, especially given the premium leather construction. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the air unit. Instead, gently clean the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources to prevent the glue from softening or the leather from cracking. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the vibrant yellow accents. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, but consider that the reinforced structure of the Air Max 95 series is generally more snug than lighter mesh-based trainers.
