This New Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble Style Is Ready for Summer
A new 'Baltic Blue' Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble recently released at overseas retailers and while fans await wider availability for that style, another pair is popping up stateside that has some decidedly summer energy.
The Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble 'Green Gusto' is one of the latest colorways to launch for the remastered retro sneaker. While it doesn't use the Air Max 95's original gradient fade color blocking, it arrives in a majority Summit White upper with black detailing and bright Green Gusto accents throughout the upper. The color placement is similar to the aforementioned 'Baltic Blue' look, but this 'Green Gusto' pair adds black to the mix for a more broken-up look.

With its warm weather-friendly color palette, this 'Green Gusto' Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble serves as a decent consolation prize for those who weren't able to nab the limited-edition 'Neon' rerelease. And if the 'Green Gusto' iteration isn't your thing, there are plenty of other pairs on the way including 'Bright Mandarin' and 'Pink Foam' gradient styles.
To celebrate the shoe's 30th anniversary, Nike improved the Air Max 95's build for its 2025 retro release. The shoe's visible Air units are more pronounced than they've been since the 2000s, a feature that not only improves aesthetics, but the sneaker's on-foot comfort. The shape of the Air Max 95 has also been tweaked with a roomier toe box fit. In April, Kith founder Ronnie Fieg stated that the changes make a 'huge difference when wearing, both visibly and physically' and called the retro a 'big win for Nike.'
The good news for fans of the classic running sneaker is that the launches don't appear to be slowing down any time soon. In April alone, Nike released the original 'Neon' colorway, a hyper-limited 'Reverse Gradient' in partnership with The Museum of Modern Art, a 'Contrast Stitch' pack featuring the 'Michigan' style, a 'Mini Swoosh' collection and a women's-exclusive duo.
This latest Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble 'Green Gusto' is available now from select stockists including Snipes for a retail price of $180. The shoe's full colorway is 'Summit White/Black/Green Gusto' and its SKU is IB1667-100.
