Who is not a fan of the classic Air Max '95s? This classic style that has design elements influenced by the human rib cage has design lines that flow like no other Air Max (well.....except for the '97s). This basic gradient color scheme appears simple at first glance, but a closer look reveals a newer trend for this classic Air Max style. The lightest colors of the gradient scheme start on the sole/outsole and darken as the pattern pieces of the upper reach the tongue. This approach is the opposite of the traditional dark sole to lighter upper approach on most '95 colorways. In layman's terms, it's basically a traditional Air Max '95 turned upside down, and in my opinion, completely alters the visual impact of the shoe. I totally dig these, but if I could change one thing, there should be a more gradual gradient color scheme. Look closely at the lace loops and the laces themselves which bring an "ACG" aspect to these kicks. Nike has utilized an iconic classic silhouette and colorway to bring us a freakin' sick pair of kicks. Let's just hope that they have several Air Max '97s in the works!
