October 7, 2019 brought the Air Max 95 Utility 'Black Cool Grey' at $175, trading the shoe's usual suede and leather panels for a synthetic build meant to handle rough conditions. Overlays are weatherproofed and the outsole is cut with deeper lugs for grip, while the Air cushioned sole keeps the model's signature heel and forefoot units.
This tonal Black and Cool Grey pair sits within Nike's winterized run of Air Max 95s, sold under the Utility name and continued more recently as Winter Utility, each pairing a neoprene bootie with tougher overlays over the standard shoe. It swaps the model's usual suede and leather mix for a synthetic shell built to handle colder, wetter months, and its outsole is meant to grip surfaces the standard rubber sole was never designed for.
