Below we take a closer look at some of the standout Air Max 95 Big Bubble colourways, including Blue Tint, Solar Red, Mandarin, Pink Foam and the legendary Neon.
Nike Air Max 95 Blue Tint - HJ5996-002
Shop the Blue Tint Big Bubble here 👇
The Air Max 95 Blue Tint ‘Big Bubble’ offers a clean and modern take on the classic silhouette. The colourway features a layered gradient upper combining Black, Blue Tint, White, Medium Grey and Anthracite, creating a cool toned palette that works perfectly for everyday wear.
Originally issued in 2025, this pair takes inspiration from the Air Max 95 Aluminium that released in 2019. While the Aluminium pair featured a black toe box, the Blue Tint Big Bubble removes this element which gives the shoe a lighter overall aesthetic.
The soft baby blue accents across the lace loops, branding and Air units give the sneaker a fresh summer feel while still maintaining the signature Air Max 95 design language.
Colourway: Black / Blue Tint / White / Medium Grey / Anthracite
Style Code: HJ5996-002
Condition: Brand New
Year Issued: 2025
Nike Air Max 95 Solar Red - IM7410-001
Shop the Solar Red Big Bubble here 👇
The Air Max 95 Solar Red continues the legacy of one of the most recognisable accent colours ever used on the silhouette.
The roots of Solar Red can be traced back to the Air Max 95 Chilli Red from 2004, which introduced vibrant red highlights to the classic gradient upper. Nike later revisited the colour again with the Solar Red Air Max 95 in 2018, which quickly became a favourite among collectors.
The 2025 Big Bubble version evolves the design slightly by introducing a black outlined Swoosh, a detail that mirrors the design used on the 2011 release. This subtle update adds additional contrast and gives the sneaker a slightly more aggressive look.
Colourway: Black / Solar Red / White / Grey
Style Code: IM7410-001
Year Issued: 2025
Nike Air Max 95 Mandarin - HM4740-005
Shop the Mandarin Big Bubble here 👇
The Air Max 95 Mandarin is another classic colourway making a return with the Big Bubble update.
The original Mandarin Air Max 95 released in 2011 and became popular thanks to its vibrant orange highlights set against the traditional grey gradient upper.
The 2025 version keeps the same bold colour palette while introducing the larger Big Bubble Air unit, bringing the design closer to the proportions of the original 1995 silhouette.
Colourway: Black / Mandarin / Grey / White
Style Code: HM4740-005
Year Issued: 2025
Nike Air Max 95 Granite - HM4740-007
Shop the Granite Big Bubble here 👇
The Air Max 95 Granite Big Bubble delivers a clean and understated look compared to some of the brighter colourways in the lineup.
The Granite colourway originally released in 2018 and quickly gained popularity thanks to its darker gradient tones and versatile styling. Rather than relying on bright accents, the design focuses on neutral greys which makes it easy to wear with almost any outfit.
The latest Big Bubble version keeps the same design while upgrading the Air unit to match Nike’s modern Air Max construction.

Nike Air Max 95 Medium Olive - HJ5996-003
The Air Max 95 Medium Olive introduces a completely new colour palette to the silhouette.
Instead of bright accent colours, the Medium Olive version uses earthy tones that give the sneaker a more rugged and outdoor inspired aesthetic. This makes it particularly well suited for autumn and winter styling.
Despite the different colour palette, the design still retains the classic layered panels and visible Air units that define the Air Max 95.
Colourway: Black / Medium Olive / White
Style Code: HJ5996-003
Year Issued: 2025
Nike Air Max 95 Spark Blue - I M7410-100
Shop the Spark Blue Big Bubble here 👇
The Air Max 95 Spark Blue brings back a colourway that originally appeared in 2011.
The design features bright blue accents across the lace loops, branding and Air units which contrast perfectly with the classic grey gradient upper.
Nike later revisited a similar theme with the Crystal Blue Air Max 95 in 2018, although the shade used on that release was slightly different. The 2025 Spark Blue version returns closer to the original tone while also including the black outlined Swoosh that was seen on the 2011 pair.
Colourway: White/Neutral-Grey/Spark-Blue
Style Code: IM7410-100
Year Issued: 2025

Few Air Max 95 releases in recent years have had as much cultural impact as the Pink Foam colourway.
The original Pink Foam Air Max 95 released in 2020 and quickly became one of the most talked about sneakers of the year. The pair gained major attention after being worn by celebrities including Kim Kardashian, which helped introduce the Air Max 95 to a wider audience.
Demand for the sneaker skyrocketed and it sold out rapidly across retailers and resale platforms. Many sneaker enthusiasts credit the Pink Foam release with helping to spark a major resurgence in the popularity of the Air Max 95 silhouette.
