Nike is releasing a new Air Max 95 for the month of Spring which has a playful theme. While the color theme is catchy, what stands out the most is the cartoon crab on the tongue. It features a Black upper with Hot Orange and White patent leather on the sides. Further hot orange accents adorn the lace loops, but the shoe’s most unusual detail is undeniably the cheesing crustacean embroidered on the reflective tongue — one whose smile is provided by a cleverly placed Swoosh. The insoles opt for a nautical blend of blue and yellow that’s potentially inspired by the packaging of a popular seafood seasoning, and the shoe is then completed by a white midsole with contrasting Air Max cushioning units.
Grab a detailed look below, and look for this Air Max 95 to release later this spring at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $170 USD.
