The Nike SB team has achieved ample success with the SB Dunk Low over the years, however, it remains reliant on the silhouette as a significant sales contributor. While new models from the skate division have offered fresh energy at times, its biggest footwear breakthrough in recent times is its own Nike SB x Air Jordan 4 sneaker, reimagining the legendary sneaker with a skate-oriented build. Introduced in 2023, it earned many nods as one of the year’s best releases, leading to a second colorway that dropped this March.

It’s become apparent that Nike SB looks to replicate this success with other models as, after all, it’s how the SB Dunk Low was created in the first place. We know that Nike SB-designed versions of both the Air Max 95 and Air Force 1 Low are on the way. Now, a new rumor report from Sneaker Files indicates that it also has its own take on Charles Barkley’s Air Max2 CB 94 Low being prepared for next year. Its high-top counterpart has been spotted several times in recent years, however, the low-top version has been absent from shelves. While we lack a first look at the pair, you can expect it to sport a “Varsity Red” color scheme that may be similar to the F&F-exclusive AJ4 that the SB team created. It’s also likely to feature a new construction that better supports skaters.

At the time of writing, the Nike SB team has not yet confirmed that it has its own version of the Air Max2 CB 94 Low coming out next year. Stay tuned for updates, including a first look at this rumored “Varsity Red” colorway, and be ready for it to arrive early next year via Nike SNKRS and select skate shop, likely above the model’s previous $140 USD price point.
