Quiet. On the DL.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike any other basketball shoe at the time, these came from out of nowhere and were made for Chris Webber, a man whose game was anything but quiet. Welcome to today&#8217;s Snkrs Day Throwback Thursday special Chris Webber edition, where we pay tribute to CWebb&#8217;s original signature sneaker: the 1995 <strong>Nike Air Max CW<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Donned for only a short stay, the Nike Air Max CW was worn by Webber during his tenure with the Washington Bullets. Featuring a high-quality leather upper, visible, thick Max2 heel air sole unit with 25PSI+5PSI chambers, a visible forefoot air sole unit, and iconic \u201cAir Max\u201d logo on the tongue, the Air Max CW was one of the most groundbreaking and forward-thinking silhouettes of its time, truly pressing the design envelope and bubble, both literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n<p>The sneaker&#8217;s stunning and appealing provenance was also attributed to the use of the now defunct \u201cCW\u201d and #2 logos. From a greater historical standpoint, the CW served as the first Nike Air Max sneaker to feature visible forefoot Air Max technology, a revolutionary and groundbreaking achievement in its own right.<\/p>\n<p>The Air Max CW released in three original colorways: white\/midnight navy-neon yellow, black\/white-varsity royal, and a white\/black-true red Bullets colorway at an original retail price point of $140.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 90s, a retro version called the Air Max Sensation released sans the trademark CW and #2 logos, which were removed most likely due to copyright issues. Over the past several years, updated versions of the Air Max Sensation released which incorporated a plethora of colorways and exotic materials, including crocodile.<\/p>\n<p>An OG-correct retro complete with two-tone OG-style Air Max box is long overdue but remains highly unlikely in the foreseeable future for myriad reasons. A truly pioneering and trendsetting silhouette, the Air Max CW remains as timeless today as compared to back in the day.<\/p>\n<p>The 1995 Nike Air Max CW: Air Max box, CW and # 2 logos included. Blown timeouts, torn ligaments, and dates with Tyra Banks are not.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-592596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323-325x244.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323-667x500.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/IMG_3323-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-592586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1377\" height=\"890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2.jpg 1377w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2-325x210.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2-750x485.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2-1000x646.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2018\/04\/air-max-sensation-2-720x465.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1377px) 100vw, 1377px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discreet.
