Nike is Continuing the Air Max 95 Renaissance into 2026 with Granite Gradient Pair

Hope you haven’t had enough of the Air Max 95, because Nike is banking on even more appreciation in 2026. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the model, causing a flood of colorways to hit shelves throughout 2025 that will continue into the new year. The latest leaked preview of an Air Max 95 for next year comes in a granite grey gradient for the transition from winter into spring.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble Granite is a retro of a pair that last hit the shelves in 2018. This time around, the colorway is added to a reconstructed big bubble silhouette that imitates the OG 95 shape. First seen in an Instagram post from @con_mcnaughton, the colorway starts with a steel grey T-toe and bottom side panel, gradually getting lighter as it moves up the wavy paneling until it goes stark white on the upper mesh. Black accents around the lace panel and on the midsole add a full light-to-dark transition, with clear white Air units underfoot.
