Now that Nike, Inc. has reissued many of the fan-favorite original colorways of the remastered Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble, it appears that the brand’s sportswear division will enter its experimental era with a new spin on the model that alters many of its signature features.
The upcoming Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble “211” removes the model’s synthetic suede, human anatomy-inspired striping from the upper, replacing it with a perforated textile which has reflective dots peeking through. The bottommost stripe takes on a rough weathered appearance, and this textured finish is also applied to the midsole.

The shoe’s spine-inspired outsole shank features what appears to be a map graphic, which could hint at the backstory behind this particular style.
