Nike plans to re-release the Air CB 34 “Godzilla” during the Holiday season of 2025

The Nike Air Max CB 34 “Godzilla” is back! Celebrating its iconic 90s heritage, Nike Basketball is reviving this classic sneaker for the Holiday 2025 season. Inspired by Charles Barkley’s memorable battle with Godzilla in a legendary ad, the shoe returns in its original Black, White, and Varsity Purple colorway, reigniting a passion for this fan-favorite silhouette

First unveiled in 1995 as the Nike Air Max CB 34, this shoe was tailored to Charles Barkley’s unique playing style. Its rugged construction and comfortable cushioning made it a favorite among players who required a high level of support and protection during competition. Over the years, this model has developed a cult following, with fans eagerly awaiting each new reissue.

This iconic silhouette saw its first retro release in 2007. The last release occurred in 2016. Given the ongoing popularity of the Barkley line, this revival of the CB 34 was inevitable.

This Nike Air CB 34 showcases a vibrant color combination of Black, White, and Varsity Purple. The prominent colors are balanced by accents of Orange and White, creating a visually appealing effect. From the Black nubuck and leather upper to the Purple tongue branding and White Nike Air logo on the heels, every detail contributes to a bold and striking appearance.
