The Nike Air Max 95 isn’t new to being subject to weird transformations. We’ve seen the zippered “Zen” version and even the knee-high boot version called the Zen Venti, but at least those maintained the signature gradient upper that made the shoes so famous. This upcoming release, called the Air Max 95 Empire, takes on the signature Max Air midsole and attached a weird boot-like design that features open vents and Huarache-like gaping holes on the upper. They look nothing like the 95 at all with the exception of the toe-box, and we are aware that these aren’t intended for the purists. These will likely be at NikeLab locations, so stay tuned for release info.
