The year of the Air Max 95 continues. Nike's 30th anniversary celebration of the iconic Air Max continues this Fall with an OG big bubble pair in shades of black with hits of vibrant deep purple.
The Air Max 95 OG Black Vivid Purple takes on the traditional gradient black that it looks monochrome at first glance. Materials are a blend of synthetics and mesh on the upper, and suede for the T-toe and gradients, with pops of dark purple shining through the exposed air bubbles and branding on the heel and tongue.
The colorway is subtle but with enough color in the purple pops to stand out from triple blacks. I dunno about you, but the heavy black with purple accents is definitely giving us Darkwing Duck vibes out the gate, and in our book, that's enough reason to grab a pair.
Apart from an onslaught of new colorways, the OG Air Max 95 construction with a big bubble sole has been the focus of this year's 30th anniversary celebration, and the Vivid Purple pair is no different, adding an even bigger canvas for the purple flair.
The Air Max 95 OG Black Vivid Purple is set to release Fall 2025 through Nike retailers online and in-store. The retail price is set at $190 in men's sizing. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
