As Nike’s plans regarding the “Big Bubble” Air Max 95 become crystallized, it would seem that two different lanes are forming. The collaborative front and spins off of the “Neon” are clearly hot commodities, but if you aren’t inclined to wrangling raffles or scour the secondary market, Beaverton’s mainline pairs have been far more readily available.
Another such edition crashes in with the “Sanded Purple” Air Max 95 at hand, crucially eschewing the gradient treatments and issuing cohesive sidewalls in similar fashion to the “Persian Violet” uncovered earlier this year. Flipping that pair’s accent shade, it’s a comprehensive treatment of dusky tonality throughout the upper, bracketed by steely detailing in the “Big Bubbles” underfoot and in various branding hits around the shoe. A complementary jet black sole anchors things below, helping to usher in a stealthy overall palette despite the vibrant titular hue.
