After returning in the original black "Phoenix Suns" colorway late last year, Charles Barkley's Nike Air Max CB34 sneakers are getting another retro run in an O.G. colorway.

This time around, it's the white-based "Phoenix Suns" home version that's making a return. These are based around a white upper that uses a combination smooth and tumbled leathers. Segments of black break the look up, while orange and purple accents make it clear that these are from the days when Sir Charles dominated the paint. Large-volume Air Max units cushion landings, while the midfoot area gains some extra support from elastic straps. Finally, "CB34" embossing appears across the lateral panel. 

We last saw this colorway in the summer of 2011, and before that you'd have to go all the way back to the originals in 1996 if you wanted a pair of these. Now, they're once again getting the retro treatment. These "Phoenix Suns" Air Max CB34s drop on Thursday, February 25 from select Nike Sportswear retailers.
