Description
The Nike Air Max 95 Corteiz Honey Black pushes the 90s running icon into full tactical streetwear mode, channelling Corteiz’s uncompromising London energy. Released in 2025, this collaboration reinterprets the layered Air Max 95 lines in an almost blackout execution, lit up only by sharp Tour Yellow hits that reference the “Honey Black” nickname. It feels less like a simple colourway and more like a uniform piece for those who move with intention in the city.
The upper builds on premium black leather panels combined with diamond knit mesh and netted overlays that wrap the sidewalls, enhancing both texture and durability. A beefed up tongue and padded collar work with the toggle lacing system, giving a secure, adjustable fit that suits long days on foot. Underneath, the classic Air Max 95 tooling remains intact, with full length rubber outsole and visible Air units in a saturated Tour Yellow tone delivering cushioning and visual impact in equal measure.
Branding details bring the Corteiz narrative to the surface. The Alcatraz logo appears embroidered on the tongue and under the ankle collar, a “C” sits on the toe, and small Swoosh hits on the heel keep Nike’s presence discreet but unmistakeable. Tour Yellow accents in the Air bubbles, mini logos and lace area break up the blacked out upper just enough to signal the collab without diluting its stealthy attitude.
Within a curated selection, this pair reads as a statement artifact for late night city wear, tunnel fits and outerwear heavy silhouettes. It pairs naturally with cargos, technical shells and Corteiz style graphics, but also brings edge to simple jersey and denim. For collectors, it marks the continuation of a cult collaboration; for daily rotation, it is a rugged, preserved slice of UK street culture with real on foot presence.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
