Palace x Nike Air Max 95

Palace Skateboards has long made a practice of elevating Nike's foundational models through the lens of London skate culture and street design. The Palace x Nike Air Max 95 extends that philosophy to one of the Swoosh's most architecturally complex silhouettes. The Air Max 95, originally designed by Sergio Lozano in 1995, carries a distinctive profile defined by its layered, segmented construction and visible air units. Palace's intervention introduces subtle but deliberate modifications that honor both the silhouette's heritage and the collective's contemporary aesthetic—translating the DNA of skate wear and Palace's graphic sensibility into footwear form.

The Air Max 95 remains a technical feat of '90s engineering, featuring dual-layer air units in the forefoot and a visible heel Air unit that became iconic across Nike's lineup. The collaboration builds on this foundation with carefully selected material choices and finishing details that reflect Palace's production standards. Construction integrity on Air Max 95 models typically centers on a combination of mesh, synthetic overlays, and nubuck or suede accents, all anchored by Nike's traditional rubber outsole geometry. Palace's iteration maintains the silhouette's core structural DNA while introducing colorway choices and material selections that signal the skate brand's creative input.

The Palace x Nike Air Max 95 operates in a distinct market position—neither a limited SB (Skateboarding) release nor a standard Nike Sportswear drop, but rather a cross-category collaboration that appeals to both skate communities and sneaker collectors who value the intersection of those worlds. Palace's track record with Nike spans from Jordan collaborations to Dunk lows and Air Force 1 projects, each marking moments where London's skate perspective reshapes Nike's canon. This Air Max 95 iteration carries that same curatorial weight, positioning the silhouette as a canvas for Palace's design language rather than a simple co-branding exercise.

The Palace x Nike Air Max 95 is currently available at full retail of $200 with no promo code needed—price as marked at Shop-usa Palaceskateboards. At full MSRP, this sits at standard pricing for Nike's Air Max 95 platform, which typically retails in the $150–$220 range depending on material specifications and collaborator involvement. Availability on Palace collaborations tends to tighten quickly given the brand's limited production runs and skate-focused distribution model. Palace typically runs true to Nike sizing, so standard Nike Air Max 95 fitment applies—the model generally fits slightly roomy in the midfoot and runs true to size in length.
