Eric Koston’s signature shoes might not be a focal point for Nike SB (at least for now), but the pro skater and entrepreneur is still wholly part of the fabric over in Beaverton. After playing a role in developing the Nike SB Jordan 4, Koston is continuing to pioneer Nike SB’s cross-brand projects with his very own Nike SB Air Max 95 collaboration.
Eric Koston didn’t go to Michigan, but his SB 95s feature the school’s same recognizable navy blue + yellow combination. The sidewalls go from hairy suede up top to nubuck down below, incorporating a subtle light-to-dark blue gradient across the bottom three layers. The yellow accent color appears most notably within the big bubble Air units, making additional cameos on the outsole and mesh upper portion. As for the branded touches, Koston’s last name cleverly appears in the Air Max 95 font on the right tongue. Thai text reading “Nike” appears on the lateral side of the right toe, honoring Koston’s roots, while the Nike SB logo appears in yellow on the spine.
The Eric Koston x Nike SB Air Max 95 doesn’t have a firm release date yet, but we’re currently anticipating a Holiday 2025 arrival for $200. Stick with us for any and all updates over the coming months, including official images.
