The 2024 editions feature some tweaks from the originals. Anyone picking the shoes up this week is immediately going to notice more premium materials, namely updated nylon. There are also some adjustments made to the colors, with a darker shade of navy gracing the Air Max 95. The colors across the corresponding gradient are adjusted accordingly so as to preserve the effect. On one hand, anyone looking to buy the true blue (sorry) original may still have to shell out for one of the OG pairs. On the other, old heads (excuse me, purists) concerned with such a hallowed pair of kicks getting disgraced by something so gauche as a rerelease can rest easier knowing the originals are still the originals.
He may not have the instant name recognition of someone like Travis Scott or Virgil Abloh but for dyed-in-the-wool sneakerheads, Stash’s work with the Swoosh remains the stuff of legend. The brand honored the return of some of his hottest collaborations accordingly, setting up a tribute to Stash in Miami for Art Basel in the city’s CNCPTS store. Rows of unreleased Stash samples were displayed as well as his myriad work with the Swoosh over the years (including, of course, the 95).
Sneaker collectors looking to pick up a piece of history can do so today, December 13, via the SNKRS app and select retailers. The shoes will be selling for $200 apiece.
