Cowboy Privilege: Sneaker Politics Austin is Dropping the Nike Air Max 95 Neon Paisley Early

Sneaker Politics is best known for its home base location in Lafayette, Louisiana, and its storefront in the heart of New Orleans, but the shop has a strong presence across the American South, with retail locations in Baton Rouge, Dallas, Austin, and a spot opening soon in Houston. As Nike gets set to drop its latest Air Max 95 in a city-slicked cowboy print, it only seemed right to link with Sneaker Politics for an early drop in Texas.

In a post on Instagram this week, Sneaker Politics dropped photos of a local cowboy rocking a pair of the Air Max 95 Neon Paisley aka Bandana, along with an announcement that the colorway would see an early release exclusively at the brand’s Austin location.

We first got a look at the Neon Paisley colorway last month, starting with a classic Air Max 95 Neon base with a black suede T-toe, white mesh, and neon volt lace loops stretching up from the side panel. But from there, the shoe takes a turn on the haunches, adding strips of multi-color paisley print in black, blue, green, and red running up the side panels.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble Paisley Neon will be released March 14, 2026 exclusively at Sneaker Politics Austin. Details on a wide release for the colorway are still TBD. Available in adult sizes, the retail price is set at $190. For all of the latest exclusive Nike Air Max drop news, download the Sole Retriever App.
