Korean retailer Worksout helped usher in the country's new era of streetwear. Founded in 2003, they brought international streetwear brands from the US and Europe into Korea and sold them at a much more affordable price than others in the space. Worksout is also no stranger to collaborating in the fashion world. Previously, the label worked with Carhartt WIP to commemorate the latter's 10th Anniversary in the country. Now, Worksout has landed its first collaboration with Nike, tackling the Air Max 95.
Coming at a perfect time for the Air Max 95, which is celebrating its 30th Anniversary throughout 2025, Worksouts' take on the Sergio Lozano-designed model updates the upper with a military-inspired color palette and construction. Gone is the human anatomy-inspired layered paneling, with a molded synthetic material featuring an olive hue and a glossy-like finish replacing it. Swoosh logos on the lateral side of the upper are rendered in a tonal olive with ripstop material.
Moving up, the standard Air Max 95 mesh tongue remains, with more olive and earthy hues featured here. Worksout logos replace the traditional Air Max text on the tongue label, while the updated molded heel panel with textured leather contains a mini Swoosh logo. Finishing the branding features are the co-branded Worksout and Nike logos on the insole, with the right shoe featuring Korean text that translates to“Wherever you are, be someone who is indispensable.” The left bearing the phrase“Become Indispensable.”The blacked-out Air Max 95 midsole below gets the “big bubble” treatment with a larger Air unit protruding in the heel.
The Worksout x Nike Air Max 95 OG will release sometime in May 2025 through Worksout exclusively in Korea. As of now, pricing information has not been announced.
