Jordan Release Calendar

As a part of last year’s 30th anniversary celebration of the Nike Air Max 95, the legendary silhouette saw a multitude of retooled editions, including one made for skating. That heralded model is still a marble slab of reinvention as it’s set to grace the greens of the golf course soon. The runner has even crossed over into hiking territory as a part of the upcoming Family Reunion collection with the Nike Air Max 95 Family Reunion Off Noir, reimagining the shoe as a boot.
Joining that same Family Reunion collection is a new Parisian-themed colorway of the Air Max 95 with the big bubble Air unit sticking around. The Nike Air Max 95 “France” draws from the City of Light’s legacy of fashion and culture of collaboration.
The sneaker’s construction invokes a purposefully incomplete look with the white and black colorway mirroring the typical colors of an initial sketch. A rough canvas side paneling covers the silhouette’s iconic striated panels, echoing the look of an unfinished cut-and-sew piece. A smooth black suede hits the toe and bleeds seamlessly into the lowest waves on the sneaker while matching the stark black midsole.

Details like “IH4457-002,” the style code for last year’s Bright Crimson colorway, printed on the heel counter, suggest that this sneaker tells a story of a prototype version of last year’s final release. The addition of “Unité et Créativité,” “unite and create” in English, on the opposite heel counter, and “atelier” printed on the blueprint-style insoles further drives home the collaborative theming.
Flashes of that same blue are found elsewhere throughout the shoe, including the inside of the enlarged visible Air units and the outsole, which also includes nods to the amount of air per square inch found in each bubble.
The Nike Air Max 95 Family Reunion France will be released February 19, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $200. For all the latest Nike Air Max news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
