Where to Buy the Nike Air Max2 CB ’94 “Suns”

Nike is bringing back a fan-favorite colorway of the universally beloved Air Max2 CB ’94 this May. A nod to Barkley’s time with the Phoenix Suns, the “Suns” version of the ‘90s basketball model was originally released in 1994 and last hit shelves in 2022.

The sneaker arrives with a clean white leather upper, contrasted by black detailing that brings out its rugged, strapped-up design. Pops of “Varsity Purple” and “Total Orange” – signature Phoenix Suns hues – dress up the midsoles, tongue tabs, and inner lining. 

Underfoot, the visible Max Air cushioning units in the heels ensure that comfort and performance remain a top priority, while the durable rubber outsole provides traction whether you're hitting the court or the streets. The final piece to the puzzle – the number 34 embroidered on the lateral heels – is the clearest ode to Sir Charles himself.

Whether you lived through the Barkley era or are discovering his influence for the first time, the Nike Air Max2 CB '94 “Suns” is a must-have in the collection. It's a perfect blend of retro flair and modern energy, embodying the spirit of one of the game's most fearless players.

Need a pair? The Nike Air Max2 CB '94 “Suns” will be available on Thursday, May 1st, in-store and online at DTLR.com for a retail price of $170.
