Lighter shades have been showing up more often on classic runners lately, and this one handles them well. Scheduled for Summer 2026, the Nike Air Max 95 “Burgundy Ash” plays with soft pinks and light purple tones, but it never loses the attitude that made the silhouette matter in the first place.

A white mesh base gives the upper a clean start, while the signature side panels stack up in shaggy suede and smooth leather. From there, the color story starts to do its job. Muted rose, pale lavender, and soft pink shades move across the waves, while a faint Barely Grape trim helps separate each layer without making the design feel busy.

Down below, the darker setup changes the mood completely. Burgundy Ash wraps the mudguard, and the black midsole gives the pair some weight where it needs it. That contrast keeps the softer colors from drifting too far into sweet territory, which feels like the right move for a shoe with this much history.

Pink lace loops bring a brighter hit up top, and the tongue branding follows the same path. Purple-tinted Air units and matching outsole touches finish it off without forcing anything.

The Nike Air Max 95 “Burgundy Ash” releases Summer 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $190.
