A New Version of the Nike Air Max 95 OG Bright Mandarin is Releasing Fall 2025

The year of the Nike Air Max 95 continues as more pairs of Sergio Lozano’s famed human anatomy-inspired Air Max model emerge. Plenty of OG and OG-adjacent color schemes have hit shelves in the first six months of 2025 to celebrate the sneaker’s 30th birthday. This includes “big bubble” versions of previously released colorways. The sneaker returned in the Bright Mandarin color scheme last month, but Nike has cooked up a slightly different version of this pair.

The other Bright Mandarin Air Max 95 was similarly released in limited quantities to the Air Max 95 OG Neon from earlier this year, though, unlike the Neon, the orange-accented pair did see a SNKRS release. It also borrowed the original PSI labeling on the outsole, which this new Air Max 95 Bright Mandarin version lacks. Outside of this, and the slightly lighter shade of orange used on the nylon lace loops, Air Max branding on the tongue, and Swoosh logo on the collar, things are pretty much the same.

A greyscale gradient is applied to the suede paneling on the midfoot, starting in light grey and transitioning into a dark grey, almost black finish on the bottom panel and the toecap overlay. White mesh netting sits just above the orange nylon lace loops, and the black mesh rests on the side of the white tongue. Final details include the black foam midsole with bright mandarin-shaded Air units in the forefoot and heel, the latter being done in the “big bubble” build that closely resembles the original construction from 1995, and an orange and black outsole.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG Bright Mandarin 2.0 will release in Fall 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $190.
