Whether you call them Ninety-Fives, Air Max 95s, or 110s, this classic model designed by Sergio Lozano is one of the most significant sneakers in the history of the culture. Globally beloved, the 95 has generated its own origin story based on region, signifying all sorts of street characters while serving the performance running community. Running shoes have greatly advanced since, but the original 95 model has never lost its relevance.

This upcoming release continues the anatomy-themed Air Max 95 releases, adding an illustration of a human vertebrae on the heel-stripe and exposed casing on the sole. The colorway is a mix of darkened reds and browns, possibly alluding to cadavers, while the upper materials vary from hemps, meshes, and textured suedes. Could Nike be releasing a full set of “backbone” Air Maxes?

A release date hasn’t been disclosed, but expect these Air Max 95s on Nike.com in the coming weeks.
