The Air Max 95 has been the focus of Nike’s Air releases this year, celebrating thirty years of the iconic design. This week, news of the shoe’s OG “Comet Red” colorway has surfaced, with a fresh release rumored for 2026.
This year marked another milestone for an essential member of the Air Max family. The Air Max 95 turned thirty years old. Designed by Sergio Lozano and inspired by human anatomy, particularly the spinal column, the running shoe cemented its spot in sneaker history years ago. In honor of its anniversary, Nike gave the model the Big Bubble treatment, the same process the Air Max 1 went through to revive the designers’ original vision for the Air cushioning unit.
Since the Bib Bubble AM95 first released early this year, Nike has had non-stop new colorways for the fan-favorite model. While many are new takes on the classic, there are still some OG styles we have been waiting on. This week, the “Comet Red” pair can be removed from that list. Originally a 1995 release with retros in 2003 and 2010, the fresh palette is getting another release in 2026. Based around a white midsole and lower layers that fade to black at the top of the shoe, the bright red accents for the lacing system and Nike branding give this colorway its name.
