Nike is back with another stunning release, this time the Air Max 95 “Sequoia”, and you can be sure this is no ordinary nature-inspired palette. This fresh take on Sergio Lozano’s legendary creation is radiating authentic forest aesthetics.

Since its debut in 1995, the Air Max 95 has revolutionized sneaker design. Drawing inspiration from the human anatomy, Lozano designed a silhouette that is both audacious and practical. The gradient upper? Representing your muscles and skin. The lace loops? Mimicking ribs. And that midsole featuring visible Air units? Think of it as the spine.

Fast forward to 2024, and the AM95 continues to leave its mark on culture. The “Sequoia” colorway is an exemplary demonstration of tonal mastery. The gradient upper transitions through various shades of green, evoking a sense of depth that will surely turn heads. Meanwhile, the mini Swoosh and Air Max branding stand out in a sharp white, complemented by a black midsole that anchors the overall design.

However, style isn’t the only highlight here. The Air Max 95 pioneered the use of a forefoot Air unit— a first for Nike back then. Together with the heel’s Air unit, this sneaker provides unparalleled comfort that remains exceptional nearly 30 years later.

Mark your calendars for the release of the Nike Air Max 95 “Sequoia”, expected in 2024 on Nike.com and at select retailers with a price tag of $185. Keep an eye on HQZ’s Sneakers page to catch the latest updates and launches.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
