Certain shoes have monopolies on specific coloring, and if last year has shown us anything, it’s that fans’ connection to the Nike Air Max 95 in its original “Neon” is just as strong as the day it first came to market. Following a more limited uncorking in 2025, the model crashes back in with the same hi-vis tones and “Big Bubble” hardware, but it’ll have backup in tow.

As the 110 re-populated the SNKRS app ahead of its March 5th release, confirmation also came that the Nike Air Max 90 “Neon” would pair up for an across-the-board celebration. Obviously, compositional differences between the Nike Air Max 90 and its younger sibling make for some creative liberties, but the overall blocking is still there. Titular light green lights up the Nike Air stamp on the heel and the side Swooshes, while the grey gradient takes on a blockier form; black soles and mudguards give way to grey siding before a white midline closes out the look.

As mentioned up top, the Nike Air Max 90 “Neon” is on SNKRS with a March 5th release date, landing in adult, Grade School, and preschool sizing.
