About the original
The Nike Air Max2 CB '94 is Charles Barkley's second Nike signature basketball shoe, released in 1994 while he was with the Phoenix Suns, and he wore it through that season's playoff run. The high-top pairs a perforated leather upper with a large visible heel Air Max unit and the cross-strap lacing cage that became its signature. Supreme's Spring/Summer 2026 version is a Nike SB rework that cuts the silhouette down to a low-top with a skate-ready sole. Nike returned the original high-top ("Black/Varsity Royal," IX4182-010) to retail in August 2026 at $160; Supreme's SB low retailed for $145, below the returning original's price.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
