Nike never fails to celebrate anniversaries for its sneakers, often bringing back classics, OGs, and fan favorites alongside tweaking designs to resemble the original builds from way back when closely. This all rings true for the Air Max 95, which celebrates its 30th birthday in 2025. The Black Border colorway joins the retros, including the Neon, Pink Foam, Solar Red, and Blue Spark.
First reported on by Brendan Dunne of Complex, the pair, an original colorway of the sneaker from 1996, will be “kinda limited” during this retro release. Still, we can expect the same white, hyper jade, black, and metallic silver color palette colorblocked in a 1:1 fashion just as it was in ‘96. Unlike many "OG” iterations of the AM95, this color scheme featured a two-tone black and white finish on its midfoot paneling.
Aside from the primarily white and black finish, hits of hyper jade appear on the top of the tongue, along the Swoosh on the heel, and inside the Air units in the heel and forefoot. Final details include black accents on the nylon lace loops, metallic silver hits on portions of the heel tab and tongue, a white foam midsole, and a black rubber outsole.
The Nike Air Max 95 OG Black Border will release in July 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $180.
