This year marks the 30th anniversary of the legendary Air Max 95. And while Nike could go all out by restocking all of its greatest hits or releasing some of the most vibrant colorways in existence, sometimes the best way to celebrate is with something subtle, clean, and effortlessly cool – you know, like the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 White Metallic Gold.
This take on the AM95 keeps things refreshingly minimal. From the mesh lace shroud to the layered leather sidewalls, absolutely everything is dipped in crisp, triple white. Even the sockliner stays pristine.
That said, while the American sportswear company could have just left everything in one tone, they decided to spice things up with some Metallic Gold accents scattered throughout. Making their way to the eyelets and heel Swoosh, this brings just the right amount of contrast to catch the eye without overpowering the design.
Of course, it wouldn't be an Air Max 95 without its signature chunky sole unit underfoot. Measuring in at around an inch thick, the sculpted midsole is loaded with Nike's critically acclaimed Air cushioning, offering unbeatable comfort and impact absorption. It's a setup that hasn’t changed in three decades – for good reason. If it ain't broke, don’t fix it.
Sure, the Nike Air Max 95 White Metallic Gold seems more like a summer shoe, but it's expected to release in Fall 2025. Better late than never, right? It will be available at Nike and select retailers online and in-store with a retail price of $190.
