"Following the release of the @nikesb Air Max 95 "Cactus Flower," the Swoosh is gearing up for another colorway featuring @erickoston.⁠

The upcoming iteration looks to pay homage to the University of Michigan, donning the college's signature blue and yellow colors done up in suede and nubuck to ensure durability when on the board.
