Nike SB is set to release a special edition of the iconic Air Max 95 in 2025, celebrating the 30th anniversary of this classic sneaker. This collaboration strives to blend traditional design elements with modern skateboarding functionality, ensuring that both sneaker enthusiasts and skaters can appreciate its innovative upgrades while retaining the original’s iconic aesthetic. The Air Max 95, designed by Sergio Lozano, revolutionized sneaker design when it launched in 1995 with its unique anatomy-inspired contours and visible air units, setting benchmarks for style and comfort in the footwear industry.
Details about the specific features of this release remain sparse; however, reports suggest multiple colorway options will be available, catering to a variety of tastes. The updated model is anticipated to maintain signature aspects such as the wavy paneling and iconic visible air units, alongside new materials aimed at enhancing durability and performance for skateboarding.
In conjunction with the Nike SB collaboration, Nike Sportswear will also be relaunching the classic “Neon” Air Max 95, this time featuring enhanced soles reminiscent of the Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 released in 2023, known for its ‘Big Bubble’ air unit.
Additionally, fans should keep an eye out for the return of the Air Jordan 5 “Grape” in its original form, which further highlights Nike’s commitment to revitalizing classic silhouettes across its lineup. The Nike SB x Air Max 95 is slated for release in selected skate shops, both online and in-store, as well as on Nike.com in 2025. Stay tuned for official announcements regarding pricing and imagery, as this special release honors three decades of the Air Max 95’s legacy and invites a new audience to experience its storied design.
