As your editorial copywriter, I’m thrilled to report on the highly anticipated return of a cult classic from Nike’s iconic Air Max lineage.
Nike is diving deep into its celebrated archives to bring back a fan-favorite, much to the delight of sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. The Nike Air Max 95 “Black Border,” a distinctive colorway originally released in 1996, is set for a highly anticipated return in Fall 2025. This release will be a key highlight in the ongoing celebration of the Air Max 95’s 30th anniversary, blending nostalgic appeal with subtle modern enhancements.
Designed by Sergio Lozano, the Air Max 95 has always stood out for its human anatomy-inspired design and visible forefoot Air cushioning. The “Black Border” iteration, known for its bold, contrasting paneling, deviates from the model’s more common gradient fades, offering a striking two-tone aesthetic. The 2025 retro will feature a clean white base across its signature layered upper, meticulously complemented by stark black overlays across the side panels—the detail that lends the shoe its “Black Border” moniker. Vibrant Hyper Jade accents will provide pops of color on the tongue, the miniature Swoosh logos on the heel, and within the visible Air units in both the heel and forefoot, capturing the essence of the original.
What makes this return particularly significant for today’s sneaker collectors is the incorporation of Nike’s updated Big Bubble heel unit. Expected to retail for $190 USD, the Nike Air Max 95 “Black Border” will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers.
