SUPREME NIKE SB AIR MAX CB 94 LOW MARCH 5 RELEASE

## Supreme Transforms Basketball Legend Into Skate Culture Icon Supreme officially confirmed that its Nike SB Air Max2 CB 94 Low collection releases on Thursday, March 5, at Supreme.com and at Supreme stores, marking another milestone in the two brands' storied partnership. Made exclusively for the legendary New York streetwear imprint, the collaborative sneaker will be offered in three distinct colorways — black, white and gold. Charles's signature endeavors with Nike are well known, but it's fair to say the Air Max2 CB is his most recognizable design. It was introduced in 1994 and is known for its unique design featuring an integrated Air Max unit for exceptional comfort. The Air Max2 CB '94 is the epitome of Nike Basketball in the '90s. ## Premium Construction Meets Skateboarding Function The silhouette is anchored by a premium leather upper that is immediately elevated by striking perforated reflective mesh underlays. The CB 94 was known for power and durability, traits that translate naturally into skate footwear design. It bridges performance history with skate function in a way few models can. From a tech standpoint, these Barkleys utilized a 180 Air heel unit, straitjacket-inspired support straps, reinforced lace locks, and teeth-like outriggers. However, Supreme branding reshapes the identity, appearing on the tongues, heel tabs, insoles, and outsoles. Nike SB marks the back heels, reinforcing the skateboarding influence. ## Supreme's Archive Deep Dive Strategy New York-based skate and clothing brand Supreme has a penchant for picking unusual sneaker silhouettes for their Nike collaborations. For their first major footwear collaboration of Spring 2026, the legendary New York streetwear imprint is digging deep into the Swoosh archives. Early last year, reports emerged that Nike SB would remake Charles Barkley's signature Nike Air Max CB '94 into a low-top sneaker. Marking the first time Chuck's signature sneaker with Nike is chopped down into a low-top, Supreme applies an all-over black color scheme to one pair, a white with gum and red accents to the second, and a metallic gold option. ## The Legacy of Supreme x Nike Collaborations When it comes to footwear collaborations, Supreme keeps ongoing partnerships with the likes of Vans and Timberland, but by far the most hyped and desired are their ongoing sneaker releases with Nike. Launching Spring 2002 in limited colorways and with tight distribution, the Nike Dunk SB line was an instant hit with sneakerheads, but later that year when the most hyped sneaker teamed up with the most respected skate store, shit got crazy! Supreme scratched the back of Nike when the Swoosh wanted to get into the skateboard scene, and Nike returned the favor by pushing Supreme further in front of the faces of streetwear enthusiasts. While the New York skate shop traces its origins to 1994, it was Nike's newly founded SB line that hand-picked Supreme to be the first-ever collaboration on their retooled take on the Dunk. ## Release Details and Market Impact Supreme x Nike SB Air Max CB 94 Low Color: Metallic Gold/Black-Varsity Red Style Code: IM4283-700 Release Date: March 5, 2026 Price: $145. A Nike SB Supreme hangtag is included, along with an extra set of laces for styling flexibility. Arriving in Gold, Black, and White with reflective 3M details. Fresh off a Spring/Summer 2026 week 1 release that saw a $4,000 casket sell out immediately, plus the return of the Arabic Box Logo T-Shirt and a $400 toaster oven, had everyone excited for the return of Supreme. This Supreme x Nike SB collaboration feels deliberate rather than experimental.
