The year of the Nike Air Max 95 continues. Sergio Lozano’s iconic Air Max design has been celebrated all throughout 2025 as the sneaker turned 30 this year, and that means we’ve been treated to retros of OGs and fan favorites, new collabs with outside partners, and plenty of new options on the sneaker. One pair many have been looking forward to is the Solar Red, which was one of the original releases back in 1995, but it appears Nike has plans to offer two different versions of the sneaker, much like the Bright Mandarin and Bright Mandarin 2.0 situation.
If you’re unfamiliar with what happened with the Bright Mandarin AM 95, Nike dropped two different versions of the sneaker with different branding details and slight changes to the color. One was more true to the 2011 version of the sneaker and featured the iconic PSI ratings on the outsole. The other opted for a darker orange and removed the PSI numbers on the outsole.
