Exclusive: Nike Air Max Barkley.

While this looks like the Nike Air Max 2 CB ’94, if you look closer a few things have changed. Here’s a CounterKicks exclusive first look at the Nike Air Max Barkley hitting retail next year.

Previewed here in three colorways:

- Black/Safety Orange/Pure Purple/Black
- Action Red/Black/White/Action Red
- White/Old Royal/Gym Red/White

The Nike Air Max Barkley updates the old Air Max2 CB ’94 silhouette with a composite synthetic upper that removes the leather and nubuck overlay straps familiar to the original. Also left off is the signature Air Max2 CB ’94 toe cap piece with a clean toe in place and added perforations for a more streamlined look. Everything else including cushioning and Air Max2 tongue badging appears to be in place, however. This is essentially a Barkley Hyperfuse refresh.

Nike Air Max Barkley releases Spring 2012. Retail is $130.
