The recent ‘What the Max’ drop showed off the Nike Air Max+ 95 360‘s incredible capacity for intricate colorblocking, its tiered look the next logical step from the mass of gradient designs that continue to typify the original AM95 silhouette. Take that step in a slighty different direction, and you end up with a design like this new Air Max 95 BB, one that sees new potential in the upper’s distinct ‘ribs’ thanks again to the power of Hyperfuse construction. So instead of a gradient marking the entire length of ‘muscle fibers’, these grey and Volt 95 360s apply a fade to each of the neon columns laid atop a base that offers a grey-dient in its own right. This is next gen ‘Neon’ and it’s available now at select Nike Sportswear shops like Mr. R. Photos: ITSB

Strangely enough, if a sneaker is being counterfeited, it’s probably because it’s a great shoe. That unusual honor is certainly held by the Air Max 95 – one of the most unforgettable sneaker designs in history and one of the most notoriously counterfeited sneakers of this era; if you weren’t an expert on the many intricacies of Lozano’s 95, chances are you’ve been duped once before. The Air Max 95 is currently going through some interesting changes in the form of the 95 360 (or 95 BB) as well as the 95 NS – arguable ‘upgrades’ in build while keeping the heart and soul intact – and Nike iD is joining in by presenting some new Reflective panels on the upper to give it some extra ‘umph’. You can go full reflective on the ‘ribs’ or choose just one single stripe for the nice accent, so test out your designs now on Nike iD after peeping some of the iD samples from Nike Harajuku below.

The ‘What The Max’ Pack featuring the Hyperfuse-laden Air Max triumvirate highlights a rainbow of colors that chaotically mash up Sports Red and Soar and Blues and other wild tones, but if you’re looking for something a bit more controlled, check out this June release of the Wolf Grey and Vivid Orange. Ninety-five connoisseurs would immediately think of that late ’99 release of the ‘Orange Peel’ Air Max 95s, but for those who can’t think back that far, you can perform a self-’inception’ by copping these on June 7th.

With the No-Sew version handling the 2012 NFL Draft obligations and BB releases trying out brand new gradients on their Hyperfuse uppers, the Nike Air Max 95 has been left to experiment with a few new looks on its original silhouette. The latest comes in the suede-uppered, two-toned motif we’ve seen on a few recent drops, its combination of Midnight Navy and the recent favorite Soar shade a definitive statement on the current trends in sneaker coloration. Check them out in greater detail after the jump, let us know how these compare to the Stealth and Neptune Blue joints, then grab yours from Caliroots.

The Air Max 95 is about to turn eighteen next year but we’ve been treated to a couple revisions in 2012, one of which is currently setting Japan ablaze. The Nike Air Max+ 95 BB is off to a strong start thanks to collaborations with two of Tokyo’s top sneaker boutiques, one of whom even went so far as to create a special display for all of Nike Sportswear’s Air Max classics in honor of their BBs. atmos‘ new Air Max+ 95 BB headlines a group that includes the ‘What the Max’ Fuse set in addition to new 95 No-Sews and AM90 Hyperfuses. One of the more intriguing elements therein compares the modern full-length Max Air cushion that debuted in 2009 to the original encapsulated airbag hidden away on pre-Visible Air drops like the Tailwind. It’s crazy to see how far Nike has come in two decades in just those two frames, then zoom out and see even more of this incredible journey on display (and you can even buy them!). Check it out in greater detail below, let us know how this compares to the most impressive in-store display you’ve seen and stick with Sneaker News for more insights on the Japanese sneakerhead scene.

One key reason the Nike Air Max 95+ BB is winning over the masses including typically staunch purists is new ‘abilities’ like the style pictured above, conferred by the miraculous synthetic construction that is Hyperfuse. 360-degree Max Air on the cushion ain’t bad, either, so when you combine these with the familiar greys and neon that made Sergio Lozano a name no sneakerhead could ever forget, we’re looking at a clear case of technology opening doors to new aesthetic potential. Click through for some more images of the ‘Neon’ Air Max+ (95) 360, let us know how this ‘pillared’ look compares to the newfangled gradient found on mita’s ‘Neo Escape 2.0′ and look for this Volt-accented edition at Nike Sportswear retailers starting May 31st.
