Nike recently unveiled a creative take on the Air Max 95 during Paris Fashion Week, presenting a two-shoe “Macaw Pack” that draws inspiration from vibrant South American parrots.
Within this release, you’ll find two contrasting visions for Sergio Lozano’s celebrated design. The green colorway remains true to original DNA of the Air Max 95, experimenting with layers of green and blue tones across the sneakers mesh, suede and furry fabric accents. Thick feathered laces help build depth and definition, while a dark blue outsole grounds the vibrant upper.
The yellow option, in contrast, plays with the classic street-inspired shape. A black mesh underlay is wrapped by a piece of solid yellow material layered with painterly red, green and blue strokes. Instead of extending upward in the signature gradient style, the painted strokes travel horizontally across the sneaker’s sidewall, mimicking the overlapping patterns of feathers. Matching the palette, multicolor woven eyelets and tongue branding are featured, alongside a black midsole and exposed Air unit for the final touch.
Nike still manages to play with the structure of the Air Max 95 without losing its essence on both colorways. The green version opts to work within the confines of what makes up the sneaker’s traditional structure with interesting texture and color combinations. The yellow model completely flattens and reforms the iconic floaters side panels for a more artistic, DIY aesthetic.
Nike revealed the “Macaw Pack” in Paris, France, as one of several unique colorways, and it was presented alongside squared-toe renditions of the Air Force 1 and Air Max 90. With this broader selection, Nike might be signaling that more adventurous redesigns of their classic footwear are on the horizon for Spring/Summer 2027.
The Nike Air Max 95 “Macaw Pack” is expected to release during Spring/Summer 2027 for $200 each.
