Nike Air Max 95 Samples from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Just Popped Up for Sale on Instagram

There are rare, exclusive shoes, and then there is an additional level of impossibility added when even more limited early samples of those pairs pop up. That’s the case with these two pairs of Nike Air Max 95s from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Nike Air Max 95 OG 2020 Tokyo Olympic Samples showed up out of nowhere for sale on Instagram this week from rare sneaker reseller @depeche23mode, who posted two pairs of the sample Air Max 95s, one given to athletes and another never been seen until now. Taking the design from the 42-pair exclusive colorway made for gold medal winners in Tokyo, the unseen sample pair switches up the midsole color to a clean white.

The colorway itself is a perfect blend of grey and blue, with steel grey leather on the t-toe and bottom side panel wave. Blue waves start bottom of the ocean dark and lighten up to sky blue at the lace panel, with more grey added up top and Tokyo Olympic graphics added to the tongue labels, outsole, and insoles. The two pairs are slightly different on the heel tab, with one keeping the blue gradient and the other going back to grey.

If you have to have these exclusive pairs, you can cop them on IG right now for $4,000 each or $7,000 for the set. To keep up with all the latest Nike Air Max news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
