First Looks // Nike Air Max 95 “Prep School”

Collegiate colorways have often leant themselves to classic silhouettes like the adidas Forum or the Nike Blazer, given their classic athletic appeal — and it helps that they fit into the preppy aesthetic with ease. The Air Max 95, on the other hand, doesn’t really fit the mold, but Nike has never really stayed within the lines when it comes to design. This Air Max 95 “Prep School” shows just that, given its classic collegiate color mix and heritage shield designs juxtaposed against a model that’s never once been associated with the preppy look.

Here, a light green-bone mesh and leather upper hosts a slew of prep school-informed color choices, from muted green lower overlays and toecaps to rich golds and reds at the special tongue and insole shield. A varsity-style green joins University Gold along the eyelets, whilst grey and green lower overlays add some extra intrigue through textural suedes and synthetics. The pair is then completed by a simple sole unit underfoot, with its staple white and black finish pepped up by green Air supports and splashes of gold underfoot.

A release date for this new AAir Max 95 “Prep School” is yet to be revealed, but you should expect to see pairs hit select stores and Nike.com over the coming weeks. Until more news arrives, you can enjoy an official look at the pair below, and keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account for further updates.
