The Nike Air Max 95 OG "Medium Olive" delivers the classic grey gradient formula that purists crave, enhanced by the remastered "Big Bubble" tooling that marks the silhouette's triumphant 30th anniversary comeback in 2025.

Design & Inspiration

The 30th anniversary year for the Nike Air Max 95 has delivered mold-breaking styles and collaborations, but any OG will confirm that the grey gradient is all that's truly needed to create a winner. This women's exclusive "Medium Olive" colorway follows the successful formula spearheaded by the return of the "Neon" and continued through several gradient releases. The color blocking stays identical to OG-inspired 95s: a white tongue and sock liner, grey suede side panels that fade from light to dark, and a black midsole. Medium Olive accents appear on the eyelets, mini Swoosh logos, tongue branding, and crucially, the full-length visible Air bubbles—delivering contrast without overwhelming the palette. The upper draws inspiration from Sergio Lozano's original human anatomy concept, where the midsole represents the spine, graduated panels symbolize muscles, and laces mirror ribs. Mixed materials including textile and synthetic leather create a layered look built to last. Nike reworked the entire shoe for 2025 after hearing purists' complaints about smaller Air cushioning on reissues, resulting in the seamed "Big Bubble" Air unit that recalls the original tooling when Nike used a different, more powerful greenhouse gas. As Kith founder Ronnie Fieg noted in April: "After comparing this year's retro to the original from '95, they really brought back the original shape and last from that era…it actually makes a huge difference when wearing, both visibly and physically."

Comfort & Performance

The remastered Air Max 95 features noticeably larger visible Air Max cushioning windows in both forefoot and heel, providing the lightweight cushioning and support that made the original legendary. Flex grooves in the midsole and outsole allow natural foot movement, while the foam midsole and durable rubber outsole deliver reliable traction for city streets or light outdoor adventures.
