Nike is celebrating the Air Max 95’s thirtieth anniversary this year, and rolling out tons of new styles for the occasion. This week, during an Air Max Day event, a new “Reverse Neon” pair surfaced, hopefully coming soon.
The Air Max 95 was originally conceived in the early 1990s, from designer Sergio Lozano, then a member of the Nike ACG team. The shoe was inspired by human anatomy, particularly the spine, which is present in its wavy, layered upper. With the model turning thirty years old in 2025, Nike has remastered the shoe with a bigger Air bubble and plenty of new and OG colorways, but a never-released look, originally from early sketches, has surfaced this week.
During an Air Max Day event in Los Angeles this week, Dom Kennedy appeared in a Complex video to talk about the AM95. Keen-eyed viewers may have noticed an unusual, never-before-seen colorway on his feet, which we are referring to as “Reverse Neon”. The pair comes from Sergio Lozano’s early sketches of the shoe, and would eventually release as the classic Neon look we know and love today. however, this pair flips the color blocking, with the lower layers in white before becoming dark grey at the top of the shoe, instead of the bottom.
NIKE AIR MAX 95 “REVERSE NEON” RELEASE INFORMATION
Nike’s new colorway of the Air Max 95 only appeared this week, and no solid information about the “Reverse Neon” look is available yet. However, with 2025 being the shoe’s thirtieth anniversary, we hope to see this unique pair arrive sometime later this year. Pairs will likely release in limited numbers from Nike and select retailers for $190.
