To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Air Max 95 “Neon” last year, Nike Sportswear brought back its classic build. A year later and the athletic brand resurrects the pair, but with a more contemporary take. This latest version gets slightly crazier with more technically-driven design cues than that of its original creator, footwear designer Sergio Lozano. It relinquishes the classic net overlay for Dynamic Flywire cables in black and Volt and sheds the extra bulk in its outsole. However, it still retains the wavy side panel in a grey gradient and the bulbous pocket in the heel.

The pair is slated to release this summer. Stay tuned for the latest developments and let us know how you think this compares to the original.
