Nike is still running wild with the Air Max 95 in the wake of its 30th anniversary big bubble retool, but after a year of remixes, the 95 hype has calmed a bit, leading to a more carefully curated selection of colorways and strategic design details. On the latest pair of 95s, Nike digs into its manufacturing abilities with an intricately lasered paisley pattern across the gradient side panels.
The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble Laser Paisley harkens back to the heyday of Nike’s laser-cut detailing. Starting with a classic black leather T-toe, the wavy side panels stack a mix of black and grey gradient that gets a full coat of lasered paisley print that mingles between the four striped panels. White mesh sits above the side panels and then returns to more black on the tongue, laces, and sockliner.

More black is added to the mini Swoosh at the lateral side heel, and the Air Max logo on the tongue gets a mix of grey like the side panels, but in the midsole, a splash of color is added with translucent blue in the middle of the Air bubbles.
The Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble Laser Paisley will be released Summer 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $190. For all the latest Nike Air Max news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
