Sneaker News Updated March 21st, 2024: Official images have landed of the Nike Air Max 95 “Atlanta,” along with further details about how it came about. The upcoming release is a multi-way collaboration with some of Georgia’s premier retailers, with Walter’s, Wish ATL, Soleplay and A Ma Maniére coming together to create the shoe. The phoenix serves a guiding principle for the design as a whole, lending the orange to red gradient across the 95’s waves as well as scattered imagery across the shoe, including a vibrant ATL-specific insole. The premier detail comes via the 3M on very back that reveals a line-work illustration of the mythical bird in reflective fashion.
The Nike Air Max 95 “Atlanta” will release via SNKRS for $185 on April 4th, set to coincide with the annual 404 day creative celebration in the city. You can find a full suite of official images ahead, with our original coverage surrounding the first look at the shoe just below.

Original article posted March 13th, 2024: Not that it needed any convincing, but the Air Max 95 is regaining some traction as one of the must-have shoes from the Air Max catalog. Last year’s collaboration with Corteiz brought the iconic giant back into the limelight, while future projects with A Ma Maniere will continue to keep it in the headlines, but let’s be real – the Air Max 95 never needed the juice — it is the juice.
It appears that Nike will be celebrating the silhouette further in 2024 with what appears to be a series of city-specific colorways. First images shared by Instagram user @110slad reveals a connection to the city of Atlanta based on the “ATL” on the insoles of the shoes. On the upper is bold pairing of a hot red and orange, contrasted by a dark grey anthracite midsole, T-toe, and tongue.

Furthermore, the exposed Air casing on the sole reveals a new graphic of some kind, likely with ties to the Southern city. At this time, additional details are scarce, but don’t be surprised if other major cities are shown love.
