The Air Max 95 hype is rolling into the new year with more speed than a souped-up Hellcat, but that doesn’t mean Nike is stuck repurposing the same gradient blends in mesh and suede. For the latest look ahead towards the spring, Nike is celebrating the eventual change of seasons with a women’s exclusive 95 in yellow leather with side panels full of shimmering silver jewels.
The Nike Air Max 95 Soft Yellow is a bright splash of monochrome yellow leather with subtle details that pull the colorway together. On the side panels, the yellow tone gets a barely visible all-over print honeycomb graphic on three of the five wavy strips, and adds a series of small silver studs placed throughout. The bejeweled look matches the metallic silver Swoosh on the lateral heel, and a set of frilly yellow lace laces brings it all together.

Over the course of 2025, Nike brought the Air Max 95’s 30th anniversary celebration to the forefront of the brand’s entire catalog, retooling the shoe in its OG bib bubble construction, breaking out classic colorways, and adding new collaborations to this very day. The 95 love isn’t stopping when the ball drops, though, and this studded yellow colorway is a nice reminder that the silhouette will never go out of style.
The Nike Air Max 95 Soft Yellow will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $200. For all the latest Nike Air Max 95 news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
