Nike Air Max 95 "Topographic" DV3197-001

Land surfaces and terrains inspire this new Air Max 95 colourway. The Nike Air Max 95 “Topographic” features a mix of upper fabrics with various colour changes in earthy tones. Unlike the “Topography Pack” seen from the previous year, this rendition boasts debossed layers instead of graphic prints on the upper. The colourway alone makes this a must-cop, but the dune-inspired panels even make the shoe more premium!

A lot of things are going on in this colourway. Aside from the land surfaces, a gradient fade effect also occurs on the lace loops. These updates completely change the entire aesthetic of the classic Air Max trainer.

The Nike Air Max 95 made waves (quite literally) when it came out in 1995. The then-young designer Sergio Lozano wanted to try something different; so he took design inspiration from the human body. Starting with the upper, the wavy graduating panels represent the muscles; while the lacing setup resembles the lungs; finishing it off is the midsole – serving as the spine.

The mini Swoosh on the sides moved to the rear panel, where it became another trademark for this Air Max.

Air Max units in the heel and forefoot provide that all-around cushioning that will help you feel comfortable all day. Bill Bowerman’s signature waffle sole completes the outsole.

This Nike Air Max 95 “Topographic” features a fuzzy suede upper with debossed topographic designs all over the wavy upper. The panels vary from Brown, Grey, Beige, and Tan to achieve that natural earthy look.

Red Swooshes on the lateral sides complement the yellow, orange, and red accents on the lace loops. The perforated mesh makes up the tongue where a subtle “Air Max” label hides in black.

A black foam midsole and outsole finish off the unique design.

Scheduled for an April 2022 release, keep an eye out on the Nike website for updates.
