Nike Air Max 95 “Pencil Point”
The Story
Taking inspiration from the human body and ’90s athletics aesthetics, the Air Max 95 “Pencil Point” mixes unbelievable comfort with fast-paced, industrial style. The wavy side panels—representing muscles in the original design—feature a sophisticated gradient of “Photon Dust” and “Dark Raisin,” adding a natural flow to any outfit. This iteration celebrates the silhouette’s 30th anniversary by refining its ergonomic construction, delivering a look that is as much a piece of anatomical art as it is a high-performance sneaker.
Built to last, the upper combines synthetic leather and premium textiles to create a layered, textured aesthetic that stands up to the streets. Visible Nike Air cushioning in both the heel and forefoot provides performance comfort, while the foam midsole and flex grooves ensure you move freely with every step. With its “Pencil Point” and “Sapphire” accents, this pair offers a contemporary edge to a timeless classic, proving why the Air Max 95 remains a top-tier staple in the South African sneaker scene.
Why We Love It
- Anatomical Design: The unique design language—where the midsole represents the spine and the laces act as ribs—remains one of the most innovative concepts in footwear history.
- Dual-Air Cushioning: Unlike many other models, the AM95 features visible Air units in both the forefoot and heel for balanced, all-day impact protection.
- Premium Color Palette: The blend of Dark Raisin and Sapphire provides a deep, versatile look that transitions perfectly from techwear sets to casual street fits.
