Japanese Scales Cover The Surface Of This Nike Air Max 95

Japanese Scales Cover The Surface Of This Nike Air Max 95

From cherry blossoms to Mt. Fuji, Japanese influences have been quite common with the Nike Air Max 95 silhouette over the years. The model is indeed a darling in the sneaker scene in the Far East, and soon enough another pair will be added to the collection of must-haves.

While this Air Max 95 appears no different than a modern new colorway, there’s an added detail that suggest a connection to the Far East. On the heel stripe and exposed mid-foot on the sole is a pattern that resembles fish scales — a tapestry quite common in Japanese garments. Furthermore, the upper construction sees an assortment of leather, suede, and a textured leather, while the tongue appears in a rare tumbled leather.

It’s possible that these are part of a mini-capsule, so be prepared to see other Nike classics with the same scaly pattern. Stay tuned for release info.
