Designer Sergio Lozano drew inspiration from the human body for the Air Max 95 (or ‘95s‘ as most sneakerheads call them): the midsole represents the spine, the graduated panels are the muscle fibers, the loopholes / straps are the ribs, and the mesh in the skin.The shoe featured minimal branding with the Nike swoosh only making an appearance on the rear side panel. The first colourway released was the black / neon yellow / white, which was like no other Air Max previously produced. The neon yellow helped emphasize the visible Air Units, and the shoe boasted an Air Unit in the forefoot (the front of the shoe). This in itself was something new and exciting, and made the Air Max 95 stand out from the rest of the series.
The technical-looking aesthetics of the upper give the impression of a serious running shoe. The 25 PSI air pressure readings on the Air Units and outsole cemented that impression.
The 95s produced between 1995 and 1996 came in their own specifically designed box, with the Air Max logo on the tongue of the shoe. The 95s produced after 1996 do not have the air pressure readings on the Air Unites.
One of main reasons for the popularity of the 95s in the number of colourways that have been produced over the years – more than 150 to date. This experimentation with colours and fabrics has kept the 95s alive for avid Air Max enthusiasts.
So far, the upper has been constructed from a range of materials: suede, 3M Scotchlite material, nylon mesh / synthetic leather and premium leather. However, it’s not just the upper that has gone through some changes: the outsole and loopholes have all had makeovers too.
