The Nike Air Max2 CB 94 "Light Iron Ore/Monarch" men's shoe drops August 5 at Hibbett | City Gear.

While Charles Barkley's signature line might not have taken off like Michael Jordan's, it still has its place in the sneakerhead hall of fame. In particular, the Nike Air Max CB 94 was a noteworthy design by legend Tinker Hatfield.

Nike is slated to revive some OG colorways, but it looks like the brand is also experimenting with new design. The Nike Air Max CB 94 in Light Iron Ore, Monarch, Light Bone, black and white features a sick airbrush design that's got collectors drooling! Prepare to open your coffers on August 5 when it drops in men's sizes.

A Light Bone leather base is the perfect palette for some fun. Across the shoe, various overlay straps provide support on the outer edges. Oversized holes are reminiscent of Swiss cheese — but without the smell, of course.

But it's not just about looks; these kicks come with some killer features too. The bootie sockliners in bright orange? Comfy AF. Those big black eyelets with woven laces? Fresh and stylish. And don't forget the black heel tabs — easy on, easy off.

As for branding, there are mini white Swooshes on the lateral heel, "NIKE" embroidery on one of the lateral overlay straps, rubberized Air Max tongue badges and white "NIKE AIR" heel plates on a black overlay.

As a 1994 release, the CB 94 was one of the first shoes to incorporate the visible Air Max unit in the heel. You can see it nestled inside the black sole. The black midsole runs around the bottom of the shoe, with teeth-like projections at the forefoot. There are a few orange teeth embedded in the black edges.

The black rubber outsole is more of the same, with orange accents and a sturdy tread pattern.

While they originated as basketball shoes, today, these Sir Charles kicks are best used for casual purposes. Throw on slim or straight-leg jeans, rolled up slightly at the ankles to show off the sneakers. Add a graphic or vintage-inspired T-shirt and a cool bomber jacket for a touch of urban edge.

The Nike Air Max CB 94 in Light Iron Ore is a must-have for retro collectors. Mark your calendars, as it's dropping on August 5 in men's sizes, online and at your local Hibbett | City Gear.
