Three Hides, One Sneaker: Nike Takes the Air Max 95 Walking on the Wild Side

Nike has made an Air Max 95 that uses three animal looks on one upper: pony hair printed with cow spots, leather pressed to look like crocodile, and a snake pattern. Most sneakers pick one exotic look. This one puts all three side by side, so each texture sits next to one that feels quite different. From Palm Beach to Beverly Hills, animal print is one of the most familiar looks in a well-dressed American closet, and now it has moved onto a running shoe.
