Few Air Max 95 colourways hold the same cult status as the “Apple Green.” When it first dropped as a JD Sports exclusive back in 2010, its scarcity made it a sought after pair for collectors, especially within the UK where JD’s exclusives defined Air Max culture.
Limited availability meant that only a fraction of fans managed to secure pairs, and over the years, resale prices climbed but now, after sixteen years, Nike is finally bringing it back, and the community is excited.
The upper retains the classic 95 formula: gradient paneling that transitions from Anthracite to White and Iron Grey, layered across mesh and suede. Hits of Action Green and Photo Blue energise the look, appearing on the lace loops, mini Swoosh, and visible Air units.
It’s the same detail work that gave the shoe its bite back in 2010, and it’s been faithfully recreated for this retro. The colour pops don’t overwhelm the gradient but instead enhance it, much like neon highlights on a shadowed background.
Where things shift is underfoot. The 2026 edition introduces an updated heel bubble, slightly larger than the original, offering a smoother and more cushioned ride. On-foot, the bubble feels springier, making the shoe easier to wear for long days while retaining the sturdiness that the Air Max 95 is loved for.
