The Air Max 95 has been on an impressive string of releases this year, with Nike celebrating thirty years of the iconic runner. This week, we have our first look at an upcoming retro release, bringing back the OG “Grape” colorway for Summer 2026.
Many of Nike’s most important silhouettes have been celebrating anniversaries this decade. The kickoff came in 2020 with the Air Max 90, and this year they are celebrating two hugely important sneakers, the 1985 Air Jordan 1, and the 1995 Air Max 95. The latter has been on an impressive run this year, releasing in new colorways almost every month, most of which come in the “Big Bubble” format. This version reengineered the shoe’s midsole to fit the original, larger, specs of the Air bags, finally delivering Sergio Lozano’s original vision for the shoe.
This week, we have our first in-hand look at an important retro for the Air Max 95, one that has been mysteriously missing from the release calendar in 2025. The OG “Grape” colorway, debuted in 1995, will make a return next Summer. The look is one of the lighter color schemes from the shoe’s original run, featuring white as its main hue instead of dark grey or black. As you would expect from a proper retro, the look features the iconic Grape purple shade for the lacing system and tongue, with a hint of Emerald Green for the Air bags and Nike branding.
NIKE AIR MAX 95 OG “GRAPE” RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest OG colorway of Nike’s Air Max 95 to surface for a retro is expected to release in Summer 2026, but does not have a set drop date yet. Originally released for the shoe’s debut run in 1995, the fan-favorite color scheme will return this time with the new Big Bubble midsole format. Pairs will release from both Nike and select retailers, and is expected to retain the current $190 price tag.
