The Nike Air Max 95 “Reverse Blue Spark” takes the reversed gradient idea in a different direction for 2026. Instead of leaning on the model’s familiar Neon accents, this one works in Blue Spark while keeping the overall build closer to a traditional Air Max 95.

Dark charcoal covers the mesh, toe, and top portion of the upper. From there, the layered side panels move into lighter shades of grey. Short-haired suede is used across the overlays, while white rope laces run through Blue Spark loops. The same blue shows up on the tongue branding and the small Swooshes near the heel.

A white midsole gives the darker upper some contrast. Blue-tinted Big Bubble Air units sit underfoot, with black and blue rubber finishing the outsole.

The reversed color blocking goes back to an early sketch from Air Max 95 designer Sergio Lozano. Instead of the usual light-to-dark fade, the greys run the other way, paired with a darker tongue and white midsole.

The Nike Air Max 95 “Reverse Blue Spark” is expected to release during Fall/Winter 2026 for $190 at Nike.com and select retailers.
