Jovani Hernandez While it hasn’t gotten the treatment of its ’90 counterpart, the Nike Air Max 95 has had a notable 2020. Throughout its 25th Anniversary, the Sergio Lozano-designed silhouette has donned both subtle and bold ensembles, with its inaugural neon green iteration slated to arrive during the holiday season. Yet, its most important accolade this year may be inspiring the all-new Air Max ZM950, set to arrive this summer.
Shape-wise, the model isn’t too dissimilar from the Air Max 95. Sole units, however, deliver newfound height to the anatomy-inspired design via not only its foam midsole, but also its two visible forefoot Zoom Air units and plump Air Max 270 cushioning at the heel. Uppers on the Air Max ZM950 boast the most direct nods to the 25-year-old trainer: the forefoot and heel are reinforced with suede while a breathable mesh extends in-between. Gradient, external welded TPI replace the Air Max 95’s signature vamp overlays – honoring Lozano’s design while simultaneously reinventing it. Other tweaks include a neoprene-reminiscent tongue, pull tabs at the tongue and heel, exposed collar stitching, and enlarged heel Swoosh.
The Air Max ZM950 is scheduled to launching this summer on Nike.com in the greyscale, blue and red-accented iteration pictured above. In the meantime, check out the Naomi Oasaka Blazer in collaboration with COMME des GARCONS.
