Andrew Rizzo If you missed out on the Nike Air Max 95 “Bright Mandarin” earlier this month, you’ll have another chance at copping in the near future… sort of. In a somewhat odd move, Nike is coming out with a different “Bright Mandarin” colorway featuring a handful of minor changes.
The seamed “big bubble” Air unit remains in-tact, but the outsole doesn’t feature the same PSI markings of the first 2025 release. Moving up, the leather tongue placement and spine drop their usual matte finish for a more metallic material. Perhaps most notably, the tongue appears to be a bit longer this time around. All other elements, including the suede gradient, Swoosh, eyelets, and mesh, seem to be consistent with the earlier release.
The updated Air Max 95 OG “Bright Mandarin” is expected to drop during the Fall 2025 shopping season, meaning between July-September. Budget for a $190 retail price if you’re interested in securing a pair.
Elsewhere on our Sneaker Release Dates page, the Nike Air Max Waffle is returning in new colorways for summertime.
