The Air Max 95 is Back in Black and White

Nike extends its legendary Air Max line with a fresh take on the iconic Air Max 90 model, this time focusing on a timeless black and white color scheme.

The pair has a visual magnetism, achieved through a strategic interplay of textures and a disciplined adherence to its color palette. The upper part of the sneaker, dipped entirely in an inky black hue, showcases an appealing blend of materials. It features mesh for the base layer, lending the shoe a breathable, lightweight feel, while the netted overlays on the eyestay deliver additional texture.

Further elevating the tactile experience are the textured four-panel overlays, where you'll find a delicate balance of suede and an animal-inspired safari print. The all-black upper starkly contrasts with the pure white midsole, creating an eye-catching interplay of darkness and light.

The shoe's aesthetic takes a dramatic turn from the monochromatic upper to the midsole. The stark white midsole, punctuated by black air supports, provides a bold break in the color scheme. This striking midsole sits atop a durable black rubber outsole, providing the essential grip and traction for any activity or terrain.

While predominantly following a black-and-white theme, the design cleverly integrates light grey accents to add subtle depth. These can be found on the ribbon eyestays and brand marks, a nod to the classic Air Max 90 design elements.
