Nike is preparing to re-release the Charles Barkley signature model Nike Air CB 34 during the Winter of 2025 in the "Godzilla" color scheme.
UPDATE 03/24/2025: According to Sole Retriever (via X, formerly Twitter), the Nike Air CB 34 "Godzilla" is no longer releasing in 2025. At the moment, we do not know whether Nike has postponed the release or canceled it entirely.
30 years after its original debut, the Nike Air CB 34 is making a return. Originally released in 1995, the basketball sneakers featured an Air unit also used on the Nike Air Max 180. Most of the color schemes produced during that period referenced Charles Barkley’s team, the Phoenix Suns. The model also received a “Godzilla vs. Charles Barkley” marketing campaign, with Godzilla’s footprint resembling the outsole design of Barkley’s signature shoe. The “Godzilla” color scheme is set to release again during Winter 2025. At the moment, we do not know if Nike plans to launch additional colorways. However, we expect both more restocks and new colorways. For now, Nike has not confirmed the rumors about this restock.
When is Nike Air CB 34 “Godzilla” Restock releasing?
The Nike Air CB 34 "Godzilla" is releasing again during Winter 2025 on Nike.com and at select Nike Basketball retailers. At the moment, Nike has not yet announced an exact release date. However, we already know that the model is part of the Nike Holiday 2025 seasonal catalog, so we expect the pair to release between October and December 2025. See the official images below as we wait for more release details.
