The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Bright Crimson” returns with an updated twist that leans into darker tones. A mix of black and anthracite dominates the layered upper, ditching the familiar white tongue and lining seen on previous iterations like the “Neon” and “Blue Spark.” The gradient effect remains, but this version switches up the materials—grade school sizes feature nubuck on the top overlay and pebbled leather below instead of the usual suede build.
Bright Crimson brings heat in all the right places. It hits the tongue badge, mini Swoosh, and heel branding, delivering contrast without overpowering the darker base. That same red pops again in the enlarged Air Max unit beneath the heel, adding energy to the silhouette without losing its OG identity.
Originally inspired by the human body and designed with performance in mind, the Air Max 95 still holds its place as a standout for both comfort and edge. With visible Air in the heel and forefoot, the cushioning delivers all-day wearability. The signature wavy sidewalls keep the flow going, giving the shoe a bold, unmistakable shape that still holds up decades later.
This version strikes a clean balance between retro roots and modern appeal—exactly what makes the Air Max 95 such a staple.
