Profile of the Nike Air Max CB34
Nike basketball dug deep in their vault and brought back a bit of 90’s nostalgia when The Round Mound of Rebound ruled the paint. The brand gave 90's kids a treat when Sir Charles Barkley’s Nike Air Max CB34 popped up at select retailers and made a surprising return in all its OG glory.
The second iteration of the Nike Air CB34 features a full leather upper and is the first CB model to be equipped with a full-length visible Max Air unit.
Performance
Cushion. This Nike basketball shoe is the first Charles Barkley model to utilize a full-length visible Air Max midsole. The full-length Nike Air Max unit cushions every step and protects against hard landings.
Traction. The Nike Air Max CB34 II has a grippy rubber outsole that provides optimal traction on any surface.
Fit
Length and Width. These Nike basketball shoes reportedly fit as expected. Online shoppers are advised to order their real size.
Lockdown. The Nike Air Max CB34 features elastic lace straps that offer an adjustable fit to enhance midfoot lockdown.
Material
The Nike Air CB34’s upper is constructed with a mix of smooth and tumbled leather. The durable all-leather upper is designed to actively support the foot and hold it in place.
Style
Sporting a full-length visible air unit, these classic basketball sneakers also feature an aggressive tooth-like design that is somewhat similar to the first Nike Air Max CB34. Sir Charles Barkley’s logo is found on the tongue while an embossed “CB34” is seen across the lateral panel.
