The Nike SB Air Max 95 Returns In “Cacao Wow” In 2026

2025-09-03

With a log of successful Jordan crossovers to look back on, Nike SB checked off another milestone with its first retro Air Max sneaker earlier this year. Whether the Nike SB Air Max 95 is actually a viable skate shoe is for true skaters to decide, but the “Cactus Flower” colorway got more than enough demand to justify an encore regardless. Here we have a first look at a Nike SB Air Max 95 “Cacao Wow” earmarked for early 2026.

The sneaker features all the same durability-minded upgrades seen on the “Cactus Flower,” namely reinforced leather/suede overlays, herringbone tread, and a lower insole for closer board contact. The color blocking takes after that of a recent mainline release in the women’s Air Max 95 “Velvet Brown,” complete with OG-inspired qualities like a black midsole and white lining.

Release info for the Nike SB Air Max 95 “Cacao Wow” is scant as of this writing, but leak source @sneaker_sample notes an early 2026 arrival. Stay tuned for any and all updates, including official images.
