Nike introduced a new iteration of its signature Air Max 95 Essential sneakers -- this time, the design boasts elements that recall the energetic aesthetics of the carnival. The entire uppers are adorned in bright red hues, accented with eclectic hits of yellow and blue. Notably, the uppers are also constructed from soft suede materials and feature the signature wave design of the Air Max 95 Essential.
Some of the patterning details throughout the wavy uppers include polka dots, stripes and checkered prints. A contrasting element against the predominantly red sneaker is infused in the form of the black tongue tab crafted from leather. Additional details include the horseshoe print at the insoles and crown shapes embroidered at the tongue.
