Nike's “Lost Samples” Air Max Pack Reworks Three Classics for Air Max Day 2027

Nike is preparing a “Lost Samples” Air Max Pack for Spring 2027, bringing together the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, and Air Max 95 as part of the franchise's 40th anniversary celebrations.

Expected to arrive around Air Max Day on March 26, the collection revisits some of Nike's most recognizable Air Max colorways through an archival sample-inspired approach. Rather than straight retros, each pair introduces subtle changes to the designs that helped establish the line.

The Air Max 1 draws from the original “Sport Red” colorway, pairing a white upper with red suede overlays and matching Swooshes. Blue accents appear around the upper eyelets, tongue branding, and outsole, while an off-white midsole adds an aged finish.

The Air Max 90 takes a similar approach to the classic “Infrared” colorway. Its cream mesh base is joined by grey suede overlays, a black leather mudguard, and Infrared detailing across the eyelets, heel branding, and visible Air unit. Distressed white markings across the midsole further reinforce the sample-inspired look.

Completing the collection is the Air Max 95, which reinterprets the original “Neon” colorway with updated accents, including orange detailing around the lace loops and visible Air cushioning. More detailed images of the Air Max 95 are expected to surface soon.

The Nike Air Max “Lost Samples” Pack is expected to release in Spring 2027, potentially around Air Max Day on March 26.
