The Nike SB Air Max 95 “Cacao Wow” is a rare crossover that brings skate-ready tweaks to one of Nike’s most iconic runners. Dressed in rich brown and earth tones, this colorway leans into a rugged, worn-in aesthetic that fits perfectly with skate culture while still respecting the Air Max 95’s anatomical design. The layered upper mixes suede and textured materials that not only add depth but also improve durability where it matters most for skating.
SB-specific updates give the shoe a different feel compared to a standard AM95. Cushioning is tuned for better board feel and impact protection, while the outsole and construction are built to handle grip and abrasion. Subtle branding and tonal detailing keep things understated, letting the “Cacao Wow” palette do the heavy lifting rather than loud graphics.
The result is a pair that sits comfortably between street, skate, and lifestyle. It’s still unmistakably an Air Max 95, but with enough SB DNA to make it feel purposeful and different — a sleeper hit for anyone who appreciates function, texture, and earthy colorways over hype.
