Nike Air Max 95 EM “Honolulu”

Nike produces a special limited edition drop for NONFUTURE, called the Nike Air Max 95 EM “Honolulu.” An update of the Air Max 95 silhouette that influenced Japanese street fashion with its popularity, the EM stands for engineered mesh, alluding to the construction of the tonal green or black upper the shoe comes in. Designed by Sergio Lozano, inspiration was drawn from the human body, expressing the ‘back bone’ through the hard molded shape of the outsole while the ‘muscles’ are displayed through the textured upper layered on top. Certainly a very organic looking shoe, the pair also features a reinforced heel panel and thick rope laces. The runners appropriately derive their name from the Honolulu marathon held every year in Hawaii.
