Matt Varga Angelo Baque is staying in the headlines. After lighting the blogosphere on fire with a first look at his Awake Jordan 5, the NY founder is switching halls in Beaverton, providing a preview of another coveted style with a pair of the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” appearing in the brand’s latest lookbook shots.
Though a release that’s plenty anticipated, this marks only the second time we’ve gotten a look at the revived classic following the first earnest announcement at the end of 2024. As promised by SNKRS host Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins in that arena, the shoe does appear closer to original construction than in additional recent bring-backs, particularly noticeable with a sized up Air bubble in the heel. Though it’d be tough to parse out from these far-aways shots alone, a dose of premium materials is also expected to edge this 2025 pair closer to what took over the world in 1995.
Baque confirms with Sneaker News that the shoes featured here are, in fact, the 2025 retro. At the time of this writing, the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” is on track for a Spring ’25 release window, which would place the launch just around the corner. A release date for Awake’s Spring offerings hasn’t been announced either, but get a closer look at what they’ve got on tap (including the aforementioned Jordan 5) via the gallery below.
