Here in TheStockroom we make a point of celebrating the milestones of people and products and the Air Max 95 is certainly a product worth celebrating. This shoe managed to cut through the noise and settle in London and wider regions of the UK as a staple that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Recently, it was announced that Corteiz are releasing a 4th colour way in addition to their already impressive triple pack of Air Max 95, and the game has barely recovered from the sheer impact of that release as it took the world by storm! But that has lead Bolu, Eman and Michael to a controversial question... is the Corteiz Air Max 95 the most impactful collab done on the silhouette?
