Andrew Rizzo 2025 has been one of the best years for Nike Air Max 95 releases ever, helmed by the return of the “big bubble” and supported by a wide cast of OG colorways, collabs, and even a Nike SB version. However, might we say that 2026 is looking quite promising as well.
Here we have images of a Nike Air Max 95 “Hot Curry” sample posted by @websmatic, which could very well end up seeing a drop somewhere down the line. The sneaker largely plays off the OG grey gradient formula, specifically recalling the “Bright Mandarin” colorway with a dimmer orange accent color, but there are some key differences. First and foremost, the tongue, lining, and upper mesh netting appear in grey as opposed to white. The overlays are also darker, fading from light to dark grey as you move downward. The “Hot Curry” accents appear in all the familiar areas, including the lace loops, tongue logo, outlined Swooshes, and of course the big bubble Air unit down below.
The Nike Air Max 95 “Hot Curry” isn’t confirmed to drop, but if it does enter the canon, a 2026 release seems most likely. Next year is already shaping up to be promising for the Sergio Lozano-designed silhouette, led by the return of the “Comet” and “Olympic” colorways alongside a collab by Japanese retailer atmos.
