Here are some sample pictures of the recently released Nike Air Force 1 Mid Supreme from the Charles Barkley CB 34 collection. The sneaker’s colors are inspired by the 1992 Nike Air Force 180 that Charles Barkley wore in the Olympics. Check out more pics after the break.
Nike’s original CB 34 sneakers were initially released in 1995/6. It was one of the most innovative Nike releases in its time. This year, the CB 34 is brought back in two colorways. One colorway has a Tweed design. The other colorway has a black and red design.
Nike has launched these newer CB 34s because this year is the big celebration of Charles Barkley in the 25th anniversary of Air Force One campaign.
If you like Tweeds, you’ll love this Tweed colorway. The main color is brown. There is an orange accent in leather near the ankle. The shoe lace braces are in strong fabric and very colorful. Nike has done this to balance the odd mixture of plain Tweed and lively colors.
Before one can say that the shoe lace region is too colorful, Nike has included a strap over one shoe lace brace. This is black in color to darken the mood of frivolous colors. Basketball players will appreciate this extra support from the shoe strap.
I like the red-hot anthracite accents in the other red/black version of the CB 34. This is called the Nike CB 34 Godzilla. They look very good here. It makes the sole look like a layer of fire on black coal. I also welcome the perforations for air ventilation at the toe area of the shoe.
This pack is dedicated to Charles Barkley and come in beautiful combinations of colors and quality materials.

These particular Air Force 1’s are dedicated to Charles Barkley’s college Alma Mater of Auburn. This pack is made up of two Air Force 1’s The first one, features a navy/brown colorway. The other one features white/beige colorway with orange accents. They are both $75 and are available all the way up to size 12W.
This continues the special tradition of commemorating the anniversaries of Air Force One (AF1). Charles Barkley was a great basketball player and Force was created just for him. He played with all his resources, fighting hard to score with every ball. He needed the best pair of basketball shoes to help him move with athletic ease. Air Force 1 was created especially for him.
This year’s commemorative set of Air Force 1 shoes has two designs; Air Force 1 Supreme and Air Force 1 Supreme Max. These are made from premium leather. There are two color combinations. The black design is entirely black, while maintaining the detailed workmanship of the traditional Nike shoe pattern. The joints at the seams are meant to allow flexibility of the shoe to accommodate the feet.The thick soles will cushion the feet while running and jumping. The bottom sole has a fine, ridged surface. This enables grip on the basketball court surface.
I prefer the other color combination of black, white and green.The green layer on the sole provides a dash of relief from the sober black and white shoe upper. However, I dislike the white bottom sole. I think white will be easily stained with use. Anyway, these are basketball sneakers and should be worn only for that purpose. I wouldn’t worry too much about sole discoloration and dirt when the basketball courts are relatively devoid of dirt.
These shoes will be available for sale on October 1st at Nike.

The aqua colors really stand out with the rest of the shoe being black. If you look at the front of the shoe, you can notice some slick crossing straps that add an extra element to these kicks.
On the tongue, there is the traditional Air logo in red surrounded by even more aqua. These shoes are absolutely one of the best releases of the month.
