Nike SB Air Max 95 'Cacao Wow' Surfaces

After a successful arrival in the skateboarding world, the is hitting the decks again. The retooled silhouette offers a build more conducive for skating, featuring reinforced double-stitching on the upper, a lower sitting sole for increased board feel and herringbone tread on the outsole for grip. Earlier this year the Nike SB AM95 debuted in the ‘Cactus Flower’ colourway, and now a new palette has surfaced – it appears the Nike SB Air Max 95 is due for an encore.

Dubbed ‘Cacao Wow’, the newly emerged SB 95 is rumoured to drop early next year. It draws some comparisons to previous Air Max 95 colourways – most especially, it's gradient brown hues are reminiscent of the that dropped earlier this year, as well as the Euro exclusive pair that was released last year. Regardless of the similarities, this Nike SB Air Max 95 flaunts the patented AM95 gradient design, melding black, purple, brown and grey tones throughout the upper – and definitely brown vibes to the skate park.

For all of its successes, it seems the SB Air Max 95 hasn’t been perfect. Several reports of glue stains and toe boxes ripping after just a few uses have been popping up here and there online. Will the ‘Cacao Wow’ pair resolve these potential concerns? No official word is available yet, but signs are pointing to an early 2026 release. Stay tuned for all the details.
