Much like its predecessor, the Nike Air Max CB34 saw early fame in the playoffs. A bulky build expanded upon the ’94 favorite, taking down the top, going back to a midfoot strap and sporting a funky midsole. Charles sported a white based makeup in the ’95 postseason and later rocked the Black/Purple colorway in the ’96 All-Star Game.
