## Why buy a pair of Air Max 95?

The **Nike Air Max 95** is an iconic shoe, combining style and functionality. Its unique look that has transcended decades since 1995 is ideal for sneaker enthusiasts and street culture followers. In addition to its bold aesthetic, the AM95 is customizable through the Nike by You program, allowing customers to choose from a variety of **colorways** and materials. Moreover, limited edition models and collaborations with brands like Stüssy, Supreme, and **Comme des Garçons** make it a collector's item. You can also find many versions of the model at retail price or benefit from seasonal sales on [Nike shoes](https://www.whentocop.fr/selections-marque/nike) to finally own one in your collection!

## Nike Air Max 95: history and design

### The origin of the Air Max 95

The arrival of the visible air bubble in 1986 on the [Nike Air Max 1](https://www.whentocop.fr/selections-models/nike-air-max-1) thanks to Tinker Hatfield marks a turning point in sneaker design. A few years later, it was designer Sergio Lozano who played with the *Air-Sole* unit by extending it to the front of the foot, a first for a pair from the swoosh brand!

### Design of the pair

The design of the pair is not trivial. Initially, the designer was thinking of a model inspired by nature, particularly erosion, but he ultimately changed his angle thanks to Tinker Hatfield, the creator of the first Air Max, who asked him: "*It's a good design, but what is its story?*" A few more research later, the silhouette of the AM95 was born! Indeed, beyond being a rather bold design, it draws its inspiration from the human body. Sergio Lozano, who was looking for a storytelling behind this new silhouette, had the brilliant idea of matching each part of his creation to a part of **human anatomy**. In this way, on this model, the spine is represented by the sole, the ribs by the *upper* that includes the laces, and finally the muscles and tendons by the different layers that overlap on the upper. Ultimately, the designer succeeded in his bet to create a pair of shoes that stood out from the ordinary and that has its own story.

### Innovations and technologies

If the design was already innovative for the time compared to a [Nike Air Force 1](https://www.whentocop.fr/selections-models/nike-air-force-1) or a [Nike Dunk Low](https://www.whentocop.fr/selections-models/nike-dunk-low), the colorway also played its role, with its rather bewildering neon yellow. In this way, the designer wanted to use color to highlight the technology and some of the technical aspects he wanted to bring to the shoe. Also, the **Air technology** present in the sole allows for optimal comfort and superb cushioning that will withstand any test.

## The features of the Nike Air Max 95

### An iconic design

What could be better than a pair that returns to its origins during this peak **hype** period for the AM95! And it will actually be not one but three pairs that will pay homage to the original design created 28 years ago, with a pack featuring different parts of the human body. Released in 2022, the **Nike Air Max 95 “Anatomy Of Air”, “Light Bone”** and **“Brown Basalt”**, correspond respectively to muscle fibers, the skeleton, and the spine of the body. Beyond their bold design, the uniqueness of the pairs lies in their *outsole*, which reveals the body parts they correspond to.

### Notable collaborations

Of course, when a model works well and is liked by the community, we can expect exceptional collaborations to happen. Among the multitude of iterations made from the original pair of 1995, several of them have been done in partnership with renowned artists and designers, thus confirming its status as an iconic shoe. We cannot list them all, but here are a few that have marked the minds of sneakerheads in recent years.

However, the collaboration that turned the streetwear world upside down and made a lot of noise thanks to its guerrilla marketing through teasers and bold advertisements is the one with **CRTZ RLW**! You couldn't have missed it last year with its drops made in three iconic cities where a new Nike Air Max 95 appeared in a wild manner. Three models ultimately came to life: the [Sequoia](https://www.whentocop.fr/comparator/corteiz-nike-air-max-95) in London, the **Pink Beam** in New York, and finally the **Aegean Storm** in Paris.

### Color options and material choices

At the time, the colorway offered for the **Air Max 95 OG** was quite innovative with its gray tones and neon green accents, a legacy of the swoosh brand, making it an unmatched pair. Sergio Lozano even mentioned that "*the fluorescent yellow was not a novelty. It was obviously part of our color palette. It was also part of our heritage, you know. It belongs to the heritage of Nike's running world.*"

Since its release, it has enjoyed immense success and has become one of the flagship sneakers of the brand with its multiple colors and premium materials that enhance its durability. Also, for its 25th anniversary, this classic benefited from a **reissue** on December 17, 2020, allowing those who dreamed of it to try to cop the **Nike Air Max 95 “Neon”** at the price of €180.

## Performance and versatility of the Nike Air Max 95

Initially, the pair of sneakers was a runner equipped with *Air-sole* units to absorb shocks and a sticky rubber *outsole* to improve its athletic performance. Today, we see this sneaker more in the streets, on the feet of women and men who wear it daily.
