Nike Air Max 95 OG "Bright Mandarin" 2025 HM4740-005

The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Bright Mandarin” returns in 2025 with its trademark gradient and a few tweaks that make it feel both familiar and fresh. First introduced in 2011, this colourway draws on the same layout fans know well—grey to white transitions across the sidewalls, layered mesh and leather panels, and vivid orange hits lighting up the lace loops, visible Air units, and Swoosh detailing.

What sets the 2025 pair apart is the use of the original-style “big bubble” Air unit. That oversized cushioning brings it closer to Sergio Lozano’s early design vision, giving Air Max purists something to get excited about. Nike also adds a black outline around the Swoosh, adding contrast without throwing off the balance of the design.

This retro release stays rooted in the 95’s DNA. The upper still features rippled overlays and breathable mesh, while the tonal build lets the orange accents do the talking. It’s not chasing reinvention. Instead, it brings back a fan-favourite with the kind of minor updates that matter to longtime collectors.

Following April’s return of the “Neon,” this “Bright Mandarin” drop might be the next one to watch. For those after OG lines and bold colour hits, it ticks every box.
