Name: Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Pearl Grey/Light Charcoal”
Colorway: White/Light Graphite/Light Charcoal/Black
SKU: IR0802-100
Retail Price: $210 USD
Release Date: June 12, 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike continues to dig into its vast archives to revitalize classic silhouettes, officially introducing the Air Max 95 Big Bubble in a clean “Pearl Grey/Light Charcoal” colorway. Drawing inspiration from the oversized visible Air units that defined the brand’s early technological advancements, this latest iteration reimagines Sergio Lozano’s iconic 1995 running sneaker with a bolder, more prominent cushioning system.

Staying true to the anatomy-inspired design language of the original, the upper retains its signature layered construction. Wavy side panels transition smoothly from light Pearl Grey to darker hues of Light Charcoal, creating a striking gradient effect that mimics human muscle fibers. Breathable mesh accents trace the top of the eyestays, providing a lightweight feel while maintaining the beloved retro aesthetic that has kept the model relevant for decades.

The true standout feature of this release is the modified sole unit. Swapping out the standard tooling, Nike equips the dark midsole with a “Big Bubble” treatment, significantly enlarging the visible Air units housed in both the heel and forefoot. This structural update not only enhances the overall underfoot comfort and energy return but also delivers a slightly chunkier, more aggressive profile. Rounding out the design is a stark black rubber outsole designed for everyday traction and durability.
