Alongside the Nike Air Penny line, the Barkley signature series is one of the few successful Retro basketball movements for Nike in the past. Barkley is the lone exception when it comes to big-men not being able to sell shoes, but the fierce low-post player was at best 6’6″ and he had enough charisma and personality to fill an entire arena. The Nike Air Max CB 34 released earlier in two great colorways – one in the Original Phoenix Suns ‘Away’ and a second Black/Glass Blue colorway. Arriving during the Summer 2011 season are two more releases – the ‘Home’ Suns colorway and a new Wolf Grey/Varsity Red combination. Barkley still remains an interesting figure in sports today, so these retro releases are certainly welcome and are far from ‘turrible’. Check out the detailed images of both upcoming colorways below and let us know what you think.
