Name: Nike Air Max 95 “Black Leather”
Colorway: Black/Black
SKU: IM0696-001
MSRP: TBC
Release Date: December 27
Where to Buy: Nike

Celebrating the Air Max 95‘s 30th anniversary, Nike introduces a new “Black Leather” reinterpretation. This release moves away from the silhouette’s regular mesh and suede layers, opting instead for an all-leather upper for a clean, minimal aesthetic.

Draped entirely in black from upper to outsole, this iteration achieves a subtle, “dress shoe” appeal. The standard Air Max 95 materials are replaced with sculpted, perforated, and smooth leather panels, providing a more unified and refined look. Branding is kept discreet to maintain this understated look, featuring subtle contrast stitching and a muted Swoosh on the heel. The only splash of color is found in the visible Air units, which showcase a lightly stained blue hue.

This premium construction notably mirrors the aesthetic of the 2019 Air Max 95 Lux collaboration with Supreme, a partnership that successfully elevated the street staple into the luxury market. With its blend of premium materials and a modern lifestyle look, the “Black Leather” serves as a more accessible alternative for those seeking a shoe similar to the Air Max 95 Lux.
