Is Charles Barkley a role model? No, he’s made it a point to make it very clear that he does not aspire to be. Is Charles Barkley one of the greatest basketball players of all time and owner of own of the most rugged signature sneaker collections in Swoosh Brand history? Yes. CB34’s first signature model with the Swoosh – after years of wearing Forces – came in 1994 and was the Air Force Max CB, a year after he won the 1992-93 NBA MVP award. Its signature criss-cross straps, Air Max 93-inspired Air unit, and midsole layering led to a unique aesthetic that led to a bevy of new admirers for Chuck. Now, the Swoosh is set to revisit this quintessentially 90s hoops sneaker by releasing a classic black and gold color scheme. Coming done up almost entirely in black, metallic gold gets added to its Nike branding and its metallic hardware that aids in this unique silhouette’s lockdown. No official word regarding this Air Force Max CB’s release has surfaced, but grab an official look hear and expect its arrival at Nike.com early on this Fall.
