Charles Barkley is a notorious straight-shooter, but the naming his Nike signatures from the mid ’90s was considerably less straightforward. Pictured above is the Nike Air Max CB34, not to be confused with the strapped Air CB34 or this shoe’s successor, the Air Max2 CB 94. This is particularly baffling when you consider that the Air Max CB34 is sometimes referred to as ‘Air CB34 II’. A (desert) rose by any other name is still a sweet retro, with this pair resurrecting the OG Phoenix Suns colorway, complete with funky mid ’90s styling including the ‘backwards’ Swoosh on the right heel. These are set for a Holiday 2010 release, but you can grab a sample about six months early from jasonwhite9 on eBay.
Style: 414243-002
Color: Black/Club Purple-Team Orange-Black

Is it me or does these shoes look exactly like the Scottie pippens? These shoes are ok kinda of bulky for 2010 maybe in the 90′s they would have flew off the racks.

I first thought "WHICH Pippens?!", then I realized he was prolly referring to the Air More Uptempo. It's actually a good comparison and one I'd never considered…good eye
May 6th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
your an idiot and probably young. You obviously don't know anything about these shoes
May 6th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
I agree, looks exactly like the pippens. Some kicks aint meant to retro. Guess its for the collectors tho
May 6th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

May 6th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
