Okay, so it’s the big week for Nike SB’s first go at making a skate-friendly Air Max 95. If you watched the video Nike put out earlier this week with Eric Koston, you’ll see the changes they made to the inside and outside of the shoe. Now, consummate skate shoe blogger, Dave at Bluetile Skateshop in South Carolina, has sat down with the SB and OG versions to give us a visual comparison of the two. Nerd out:
So will this “new” Air Max 95 stay in the SB line, or will it become the norm for all Air Max 95s, similar to what Nike did with the Jordan 4?
Peep Nike’s full breakdown video with Eric Koston below:

So make your way to your local skateshop on August 2 and be ready to fork over 185 bucks for the first ever Nike SB Air Max 95. Koston and Dave both claim this one fits more comfy than the original. Thinner midsole, thinner outsole, but still has all the air.
