Marking 30 years of the Air Max 95, this release brings the 1995 icon back with OG specs

Nike’s bringing the thunder in 2025 with the return of one of the most legendary sneakers ever created—the Air Max 95 OG “Neon”. This ain’t just a reissue; it’s a full-force revival loaded with Big Bubble energy, dropping for the first time in years with original design DNA and updated specs that’ll blow minds and empty wallets.

Designed by Sergio Lozano, inspired by human anatomy—think ribs, spine, and muscle—the Air Max 95 “Neon” flipped sneaker design on its head in ‘95. Now, 30 years later, Nike’s dropping the most accurate reissue yet, staying true to the OG with massive visible Air units, reflective 3M hits, and that iconic Black/Neon Yellow/Cool Grey colorway.

What’s Special This Time? Let’s Talk Spices:

🔥 Big Bubble Returns – For the first time since the ‘90s, Nike’s ditched the shrunken Air units and brought back large-volume Air bags, including the horizontal seam through the heel unit—gone since 2005, now resurrected for real heads.

🔥 Anatomy-Inspired Design – The upper still flexes that gradient suede paneling, built to mimic muscle fibers. Throw in neon lace loops, pill logos, and embroidered Swooshes, and it’s game over.

🔥 Special Packaging – Nike’s pulling from the archives with a narrow OG black/grey box, flip-lid, and even pink anatomical supports inside. Rumors say the original graphic tissue paper is back too—collector catnip.

🔥 Cultural Icon – Worn on the streets of NYC, Tokyo, and London, the “Neon” 95 helped define streetwear and hip-hop fashion. It’s more than a shoe—it’s a cultural relic, finally restored.

🔥 Double Trouble – Nike’s not just dropping the OG “Neon” 95. A Nike SB collab and a “Pink Foam” Big Bubble variant are coming too. Two bombs in one year? That’s how you shake the game.
