An Eric Koston-Themed Nike SB Air Max 95 Is Coming
Skateboarding legendEric Kostonhas remained one ofNike SB'smost prominent figures for well over a decade. From fronting campaigns to presenting high-powered footwear collaborations and even leading his own signature shoe line, Koston continues to play a key role in guiding the division.
One storyline involving the Nike SB team that we've kept a close eye on is its skate-oriented version of theAir Max 95that is en route for the model's 30th anniversary. We previewed a sample of the lead'Cactus Flower'colorway and now have an in-hand preview of an 'Obsidian/Speed Yellow' take on the shoe dedicated to Koston. In addition to modifications made for skaters, the sneaker's University of Michigan-esque colorway sees 'koston' branding visible at the right shoe's tongue tag and Nike SB callouts at the heel and outsole. The shoe also features Thai script that translates to 'Nike' at the lateral toe, nodding to Koston's birthplace of Thailand.
At the time of writing, neither Eric Koston nor the Nike SB team have indicated when their collaborative take on the SB version of the Air Max 95 will be dropping. Stay tuned for updates, including official images of the kicks, as we currently expect this pair to drop by the end of the year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $190 USD.

Take a Look at Nike's Incredible Pro-Family Tribute for British Open Champ Scottie Scheffler
Nike has just posted a new ad featuring golf superstar Scottie Scheffler, a beautifully crafted piece that resonates deeply with themes of family and success. The sneaker conglomerate posted the image following Scheffler's dominating performance at the British Open. The ad features a heart-warming image of Scheffler crouching on the green to meet his crawling child who is reaching for his putter. It is captioned, 'You've already won.' A second image shows Scheffler in mid-swing with the text, 'But another major never hurt.' Fans were pleased to see a message from Nike staying out of the political realm, or the glitzy and glamorous aspect of being thee best golfer in the world, instead focusing on family for a change – a rarity in sports. 'Refreshing to see uplifting content in sports ads from Nike,' one fan responded. Another wrote, 'This is the kind of athlete you should promote.' Take a look at the powerful image … His Son Stole the Show Scottie Scheffler secured a commanding four-stroke victory at the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, finishing at 17-under (267) to claim his fourth major title and the third leg of the career Grand Slam. As the world's top-ranked golfer for over 130 weeks, Scheffler has won four majors—the 2022 and 2024 Masters, the 2025 PGA Championship, and the 2025 Open Championship—solidifying his dominance in professional golf. Despite all that, his son Bennett stole the show during the post-match celebration. Following his major win, Scheffler celebrated with his wife, Meredith, and their 14-month-old son, Bennett, who charmed fans with an adorable attempt to join his father on the 18th green. Bennett stumbled while trying to climb the slope but was quickly scooped up by Scheffler, creating a heartwarming moment that went viral. RELATED: Scottie Scheffler Delivers All-Time Quote on the Importance of Family Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer, delivered a profound reflection at a press conference before the 2025 Open Championship, where he emphasized that his family, not golf, is his true priority. 'Is it great to be able to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have in the game of golf? Yeah, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about because I've literally worked my entire life to be good at this sport,' Scheffler said. 'To have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think, is a pretty cool feeling.' He expressed that the fleeting euphoria of winning tournaments doesn't fulfill him deeply, however, as life quickly moves on to mundane moments, such as deciding what to eat for dinner. 'This (golf) is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart,' Scheffler added. Scheffler stated he would retire from professional golf if it ever negatively impacted his relationship with his wife or son, underscoring that being a great father outweighs being a great golfer. 'I'm blessed to be able to come out here and play golf, but if my golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or my son, that's going to be the last day that I play out here for a living,' he concluded. 'Because I'd much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer. At the end of the day, that's what's more important to me.' Scheffler's candid and emotional comments on the importance of being a great husband and father compared to being a great golfer garnered nearly six million views.
