Once again NIKE has opened its vault to re-release the Air Max 95. Designed by Sergio Lozano in 1995, the Air Max 95 has become one of the most loved sneakers that Nike has ever produced.

Stated many times before, the inspiration for the shoe is the human anatomy. The mid sole represents the spine, graduated panels resemble muscles, lace loops are the ribs, and the mesh is the skin. At the time of its release many were skeptical of the Air Max 95 because of the price, yet it was never a factor. The Air Max 95 was the first sneaker by Nike to feature the Air Max cushioning system in both the heel and forefoot, it has been re-issued many times, and released in over 150 different colorways. Look for these in the coming months at NEXT…

Next Coventry and Next Beachwood have just landed the Supra Skytop II. This past April the Skytop II got a lot of attention from the online community after images of it’s silhouette started hitting blogs. Supra released only 600 pairs of the first color way in December 2009. Obviously, they sold out pretty quickly.

Chad Muska, Lorain Ohio native and the Skytop II designer, along with the rest of the Supra crew have been on a World Tour the last couple months to promote the sneaker. Now, Next has landed this highly sought after shoe, and chances are they won’t stay on our shelves very long either.

All of their products are made with the best quality materials and highest design aesthetic. If you decide to get a pair they will change your perspective on sneaker quality.
