The Most Wanted Air Max 95s To Watch This Year

Even without an official announcement, it was easy to predict that 2025 would be a monumental year for the Air Max 95. A quick glance at recent releases makes this clear. Last year saw the debut of standout colourways like Unearthed and Black Harbour Blue, which quickly became fan favourites. Add to that a high profile collaboration with Central Cee and its inclusion in A Ma Maniére’s "While You Were Sleeping" collection, and it’s evident that this iconic Nike silhouette is being primed for the spotlight.

As Sergio Lozano’s legendary design marks its 30th anniversary, excitement among sneaker enthusiasts is at an all time high. With some exceptionally clean colourways already hinted at for 2025, we can’t wait to see what’s in store. Here are our top five picks so far.

Exclusively available at JD, the "Desert Khaki" Air Max 95 draws inspiration from human anatomy. This silhouette features a layered leather and textile upper, blending durability with breathability for a clean, sophisticated look.

The sneakers boast secure lace fastening, a padded ankle collar, and a cushioned tongue. Flex grooves in the midsole and outsole promote natural movement, while the iconic Max Air units provide exceptional cushioning and responsiveness with every step. A grippy rubber outsole ensures reliable traction, making these sneakers ideal for both urban adventures and everyday wear.

A standout addition to the Jewel Swoosh Air Max family, this pair is already being nicknamed the "Tiffany" Air Max 95 by sneaker enthusiasts, thanks to its resemblance due to the electric blue accents and moody, dark colour palette.

The "Jade Jewel" Air Max 95 features a greyscale upper with alternating shades of grey and black, emphasising a more stealthy, monochromatic look. Vibrant jade green accents bring the design to life, highlighting the jewel Swoosh on the lateral heel, the tongue patch, and additional branding on the heel and sock liner. The mesh eyestays and durable nylon cables provide both structure and support.

The black polyurethane midsole houses jade green Air units at the forefoot and heel, offering exceptional impact protection and comfort. This sneaker oozes style!

Another fresh iteration celebrating the 110 is the Nike Air Max 95 “Sundial,” which channels the aesthetic of early 2010s JD exclusives with a striking blend of greys, whites, and oranges; sure to win over loyal fans and newcomers alike.

The “Sundial” AM95 features alternating grey and silver tones on its signature wavy side panels, creating a nice contrast. A bright orange jewel Swoosh on the lateral heel replaces the usual embroidered logo, adding a fresh twist to the classic design. Orange accents also highlight the branding and nylon lace loops, injecting a vibrant pop of colour into the overall look.

While fans of the Air Max 95 often gravitate toward vibrant, colourful iterations of this ‘90s classic, the understated appeal of the AM95 “Monochrome” is hard to resist. Also referred to as the “Reverse Dust” colourway, its clean grey gradient design makes it a versatile choice for daily wear. There is absolutely nothing you cannot rock these with!

The iconic layered sidewall remains true to the silhouette’s heritage, evoking comparisons to the popular “Jewel Grey” edition that dropped back in 2024. Subtle details, including dust grey accents on the Air units, eyelets, and embroidered Swoosh, complete the shoe’s minimalist, monochromatic look.

Thanks to Kim Kardashian, the Nike Air Max 95 "Pink Foam" iteration quickly gained traction on social media, with fans clamouring to get their hands on the coveted "Pink Foam" 95s. Now celebrated among Air Max enthusiasts, this colourway delivers a softer, stylish take on the '90s classic.

Also referred to as the "Gunsmoke" edition, this version boasts a delicate pink embroidered mini Swoosh on the lateral heel, while a unique Air Max badge adorns the tongue. Key design elements, such as the iconic lacing system and toe box, remain unchanged, preserving the shoe's timeless appeal. Underfoot, the signature triple Air units provide the exceptional comfort and support the Air Max 95 is known for. This one's expected to drop in April.
