When we look back at the best years of the Air Max 95, 2025 will certainly be a contender. This year marked the 30th anniversary of Sergio Lozano’s human anatomy-inspired Nike shoe, and The Swoosh made sure to bring out all the stops. Included were retros of OG colorways, collabs with new partners, and tons of GR renditions.
Another year where the model had hit after hit was 2015, which featured 20th anniversary celebrations. One pair we all fondly remember was the Greedy, which featured a “What The” style colorblocking using details from a variety of iconic colorways. Well… even if it didn’t drop in time for its 10th birthday, we’ll definitely settle for a retro next year.
The 2026 retro of the Nike Air Max 95 Greedy will be nearly 1:1 with the 2015 release. The only difference? The colorway will not feature the “big bubble” build used on virtually all Air Max 95s now. Back in 1995, the original AM 95s featured a larger Air unit in the heel, but over time, this shrunk down. This year marked the return of the bigger Air bag, and clearly it’s not going away like the Air Max 1’s “big bubble” treatment. Following the original 2015 Greedy, Nike released three other versions of the sneaker that also continue the “What The”-esque design language
On the lateral side of the left and right sneaker on the Greedy 1.0, we see the greyscale gradient used on classics like the Neon, Solar Red, and other OG AM 95s, while the medial side inverts this. Here, we see black at the top which works down to white on the bottom panel, a clear nod to the Hot Red colorway.
The tongues also borrow from different releases, with the right featuring the black tongue and grey/red Air Max logo from the aforementioned Hot Red and the left using details from the Grape. Lace loops also continue this mismatched story. The lateral side of the right shoe features neon nylon, while the medial side is a vibrant hot red. The right shoe features orange lace loops, similar to the Bright Mandarin colorway, and the medial side uses aqua blue from the Grapes. Final details include mismatched insoles and Nike Air logos on the heel and mismatched Air units, using red on the right shoe and neon on the left.
The retro of the Nike Air Max 95 Greedy will be released September 1, 2026 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $200.
