About the Nike Air Max 95 Essential "Black Ice"
This Air Max 95 Essential pair runs a black, white and black colorway that keeps the palette almost entirely monochrome. Mesh forms the base of the upper, with dual-toned leather and nubuck panels layered over it in the model's familiar shape, and a split tongue patch along with an embossed heel carry the branding. The outsole breaks from the dark upper with an icy, translucent tint that lightens the look underfoot.
Nike released the pair on August 14, 2019, at $160. Visible Max Air cushioning still runs through the heel and forefoot, keeping the shoe's familiar profile intact even with a mesh-based upper standing in for the heavier suede and leather builds seen on other Air Max 95 colorways. The tonal black-and-white approach lets the layered paneling read as texture rather than color blocking, a quieter finish than the model's brighter archive releases.
