Nike Air Max 95 OG Neon: the return of an Air icon

The Nike Air Max 95 OG Neon, legendary shoes for all those who lived through the golden age of sneakers in the '90s, are about to make their grand return. Born to revolutionize the world of running, the Air Max 95 Neon quickly became an icon of international streetwear, conquering the streets of cities around the world. Contributing to their success were their innovative design and bold "Neon" coloring, which captured the attention of runners and sneakerheads. Just recently, Nike, after taking us back in time with the reissue of the Total 90 III, announced this great and awaited return. Let's discover together the story of the Nike Air Max 95 OG Neon, when they will be released, the available colorways, and what changes in this new release of 2025.

To understand the success of the Nike Air Max 95 OG Neon , one must delve into the history of these shoes and grasp their connection to the world of running and streetwear. Defined by Rhys Mckee as "one of the greatest sneakers of all time," the Air Max 95 was created by footwear designer Sergio Lozano back in 1995 (of course). To create this unique silhouette, Lozano drew inspiration from human anatomy: its side panels replicate the texture of muscle fibers, while their lacing system borrows some details from the rib cage. Even in terms of construction, the Nike Air Max 95 Neon mix different types of leather to further evoke human skin. Finally, the Neon colorway, which first appeared on this sneaker, has won over fans of one of the most iconic silhouettes among Nike's OG models.

The reason for the success of the Air Max 95 Neon is primarily linked to their innovative design, featuring the characteristic layered upper and visible Air unit. Much of the hype, as already highlighted, is due to the association with the world of streetwear and youth culture, which have made these sneakers a true symbol of style. It is no coincidence, in fact, that many celebrities (notably including Jay-Z) have worn these sneakers, making them a true cult model.

"Let's now talk about the design and the novelties of this new Nike release.
