FAQs

Are these good for beginner skateboarders?

Yes, the enhanced grip, durability, and board feel make them suitable for skaters of all levels, including beginners.

How do the Air Max 95 SB compare to the original Air Max 95 for running?

The SB version is specifically modified for skateboarding with features like a flatter sole and different cushioning. They are not optimized for running and may offer less support or responsiveness for that activity compared to the original running shoe.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and leather, and affect the shoe's structure.

What does 'SB' stand for?

SB stands for 'Skateboarding', indicating that this model has been specifically designed and adapted for skateboarding use.

How durable is the suede material?

The suede is chosen for its durability in a skateboarding context. However, like all suede, it requires proper care to maintain its appearance and integrity against abrasion.

What is the purpose of the herringbone outsole?

The herringbone pattern on the outsole is designed to provide superior multi-directional grip on a skateboard's deck and on various surfaces, enhancing stability and control.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

While this guide focuses on the 'Cactus Flower' colorway (White/Grey), Nike often releases the SB Air Max 95 in various colorways. Availability may vary.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the outsole with a stiff brush to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting traction.

Suede material looks worn or stained

Use a suede eraser for minor scuffs and a dedicated suede cleaner for stains. Follow up with a suede brush to restore texture. Avoid using water excessively.

Discomfort during skating sessions

Ensure the laces are tied appropriately for a secure fit. The shoe's insole is designed for skate comfort, but breaking them in might be necessary.

Stitching appears to be coming undone

For minor fraying, a thread snipper can be used carefully. For significant seam issues, professional shoe repair may be necessary.
