Nike is dropping another colorway of the Air Max 95 SE for Summer 2026. This unique version is offered in a Black/Light Smoke Grey/Smoke Grey color combination. The iconic layered silhouette remains unchanged; however, the rope laces and heavier fabrics give this shoe a more technical appeal rather than a traditional retro look.

Light Smoke Grey mesh envelops the tongue and upper while ribbed textile accents are placed on the forefoot and side panels. Each layer darkens towards the bottom, transitioning into black suede on the toe box and mudguard. The lower half feels weightier while maintaining the Air Max 95 gradient concept.

Speckled rope laces thread through grey fabric loops and terminate on a translucent toggle on the tongue. This new detail is the largest style change to the shoe, providing an outdoorsy feel without steering away from the design too much.

Details like Air Max branding on the tongue, black Swooshes near the heel, and molded Nike Air lettering on the back stay true to form. Light grey lining enlivens the interior where Nike Air Max logos are printed on the insoles.

A black midsole encases visible Nike Air cushioning in both the forefoot and heel. Blue hue tints the Air units adding another color to this predominantly neutral sneaker before a black rubber outsole caps off the look.

Shop the Nike Air Max 95 SE “Black/Light Smoke Grey” online at Nike.com and select retailers when it drops this Summer 2026.
