Just in time for the Fall season, Nike introduces yet another tonal update of the signature Air Max 95 sneaker model with the new Black Earth colorway to join its roster. The shoes are inspired by nature itself and its rich green surroundings with a palette of black, earth, cargo khaki, and sequoia.
The sneakers are made from a blend of materials including suede, leather, and mesh. Every overlaying panel is highlighted by a deeper green gradient as the toe box is led by suede to create the illusion of mossy textures that nod to the overarching theme. A touch of reflective details can be seen on top of the black rubber outsole unit with 3M materials.
