Eleven years ago, Nike threw caution to the wind and crammed four legendary colourways onto a single silhouette. The resulting 2015 ‘Greedy’ split opinion straight down the middle, yet it swiftly earned grail status on street corners and forum threads alike. Now, the Oregon sportswear giant resurrects the mismatched icon with the one upgrade purists spent decades demanding: the authentic 1995 spec Big Bubble tooling.

Rather than dilute the concept, Nike replicates the asymmetrical chaos of the 2015 original stitch for stitch. Sergio Lozano’s anatomy inspired side ribs deliver two completely distinct personalities depending on your viewing angle.
On the lateral flank, classic grey suede gradations run down toward the midsole, backed by the punchy volt eyelets of the OG ‘Neon’ alongside the fiery citrus hits of ‘Bright Mandarin’. Spin the trainer around, and the medial walls plunge into moody black mesh, balanced by the royal purple and teal pops of the ‘Grape’ paired with unmistakable ‘Solar Red’ lace loops. Clean white laces and a solid black midsole ground the cacophony, letting each individual palette breathe without fighting for attention.
While past retro runs suffered from pinched, shrunken Air chambers, this 2026 edition corrects the blueprint. Nike equips the heel and forefoot with blown out, period correct Big Bubble units. The wider chambers not only restore the chunkier visual profile that defined mid-nineties London pavement culture, but also inject noticeably more give underfoot.
Purists who missed out in 2015 finally get redemption, while the corrected chamber dimensions make this the truest iteration to hit shelves yet. Set those SNKRS alarms early on 9 September and reminders on The Sole Supplier.
