Nike Sportswear isn’t shy to pull the retro trigger, but here’s a Nike Basketball design that first dropped 15 years ago, set to receive a tech-happy update come next year. The Nike Air Max Sensation 2011 is based on the Air Max Sensation that Chris Webber wore in 1995 as a member of the Washington Bullets. It’s got the unmistakable ‘aimax’ script made famous on that year’s immortal Air Max 95, but a quick glance at this pair’s sole reveals an update in the form of a basketball-specific Max Air 360 unit. The upper is also updated with carbon fiber and Torch mesh, making for one of the best Nike BB updates in quite some time. Click the jump below for more images and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the release date.
Style: 429767-003
Color: Black/Black-Anthracite

Some classics just shouldn't EEEVVVVEEERRRRR be touched. This is one of those cases. Shame on you Nike.

Boring. I'd rather see an original design and not an update of sorts.
Also, that "carbon fiber" looks like a print judging from those pics. I hate the print. Solid colors or a different pattern would be cooler since they wouldn't be a lie. ha.

The upper foam/ mesh upper looks like the upper on the Shox TL III. I loved the OG's….I had the black Webber's with the #2 on the heel tab in 8th grade.

It does show, how the LeBron VIII would look a million times better without the big plastic Swoosh.
Too little Air Max Sensation in this design, they shoulda stayed truer.
