Nike SB continues to blur the line between skate and sport with one of its boldest hybrids yet—the Eric Koston x Nike SB Air Max 95 “Obsidian/Speed Yellow.” Following up on the success of crossovers like the SB x Air Jordan 4, this collaboration officially brings the Air Max 95 into the SB universe for the first time.

Koston’s take on the Air Max 95 keeps the classic layered design intact while introducing skate-ready enhancements. The upper arrives in deep Obsidian suede and mesh, complemented by Speed Yellow accents across the Swoosh, lace loops, and custom tongue tags that read “Koston” and “Air Max.” Thai script embroidered on the toe—translating to “Nike”—pays tribute to Koston’s heritage, while co-branded “Nike SB Air” heel stamps and grid-style insoles finish the design with thoughtful detail.

Underfoot, the sneaker integrates reinforced padding and skate-specific insoles for improved board feel and impact protection, merging the comfort of the Air Max lineage with the performance precision of Nike SB.

The Eric Koston x Nike SB Air Max 95 “Obsidian/Speed Yellow” releases November 2025 for $190, available at Arts-Rec. Keep it locked to @artsandrecstore for release info, size availability, and exclusive launch coverage.
