The Nike Air Max 95: a design inspired by the human body since 1995
In 1995, Sergio Lozano received a question from Tinker Hatfield: "What's your story?" The answer gave birth to one of the most unique Nike sneakers ever designed. Lozano's inspiration? Human anatomy. The wavy layers of the upper represent muscle fibers, the sole evokes the spine, and the eyelets recall the ribs. Each part of the model tells a story. Lozano conceived every part of the model based on the body.
The Air Max 95 was also the first Nike shoe with a visible Air bubble in the forefoot, a technical revolution at the time. The heel swoosh, the discreet swoosh on the sides, the layered upper, the generous cushioning: everything here is meticulously designed. The Nike Air Max 95 delivers a shoe that resembles a sculpture. It's no coincidence that it has appeared everywhere, far beyond the tracks.
Black Air Max 95 models available at The Last Step
The black colorway is the most requested for the Nike Air Max 95. It amplifies the aggressive aspect of the design while offering total versatility for everyday wear. Here's an overview of the main black shoes currently available in this range.
Air Max 95 Levis Black and Big Bubble Leather: raw black
The Air Max 95 Levis Black is one of the most anticipated collaborations in the range. An all-black base, uppers crafted from Levi's denim, and an unchanged silhouette. This is the Air Max 95 in its most recognizable form, supported by a brand whose cultural status is well-established. For a monochrome look with character, this is the shoe.
The Air Max 95 Big Bubble Leather goes even further in construction. Genuine leather upper, deep black throughout the model, oversized Big Bubble Air unit visible along the entire length of the sole. A premium look that distinguishes this version from usual lifestyle sneakers. Same colors, but a completely different level of materials.
Air Max 95 Corteiz Honey Black and OG Black Sundial: black with relief
The Air Max 95 Corteiz Honey Black is one of the hardest-to-get pairs in the Nike Air Max 95 collection. Black base, honey yellow and orange accents, Corteiz details scattered across the upper. A product that combines the aesthetic of the Max 95 and the status of the London streetwear brand. High price, almost non-existent stock elsewhere.
The Air Max 95 Black Sundial adopts the OG silhouette on a dark base with orange, pink, and yellow accents. Layered panels, structured mesh, Big Bubble sole: this is the AM95 in its original proportions, with an uncompromising colorway. Ideal for those looking for a black Nike Air Max 95 with an extra touch of character.
How to choose your black Nike Air Max 95: size and style guide
First point before ordering: the Air Max 95 runs small. The mesh and layered upper offers good support but leaves little lateral room. The usual recommendation to go up half a size applies to the entire Nike Air Max 95 range. Men and women wear the same models, which broadens options for everyone.
In terms of style, these all-black shoes go with everything: jeans, joggers, more formal attire. These sneakers with colored accents, Corteiz, Sundial or Levi's, require a little more attention to the overall outfit but immediately add visible character. For each pair, the Nike size guide is available on the product page. Kids' sizes are also referenced in the collection.
Why is the black Air Max 95 so popular?
From its launch, the Air Max 95 was a huge hit in Japan at indecent resale prices. In England, it became part of street culture and has never left. Corteiz, A Ma Maniére, Levi's, collaborations based on this Nike brand consistently make headlines. This is a clear indicator of its status in global urban fashion.
On this silhouette, black works better than on any other Nike Air Max. The embossed panels, the imposing sole, the layered upper: everything takes on another dimension in monochrome. This is the AM95 in its rawest form. That's why this colorway remains, year after year, the most requested in the collection, for both men's and women's pairs.
