Men's Nike Air Max 95 Zip SP Big Bubble "Loyal Blue"

Nike Air Max 95 Zip SP

Men's Shoes

The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Loyal Blue” is bringing back a cult-favorite twist from the early 2000s. Originally released in 2001 as a women’s exclusive, this early  iteration was a forward-thinking experiment that introduced a zip-up futuristic shroud marrying performance style and sleek fashion-forward sensibilities. It’s now coming back as part of Nike’s 2025 Air Max lineup.

The reissue features the full Loyal Blue suede overlays, which are wrapped in a form-fitting synthetic shroud that zips over the laces at the top. Details of Bright Crimson pop up at the mini Swoosh and visible Air units, while the deep chocolate-hued Max Air unit forms a clean contrast. The reissue also preserves the split Air Max logo on the tongue, a distinguishing detail from the original silhouette.

In comparison to the early-2000s model which utilized copious amounts of leather, this retro primarily employs premium suede and neoprene for a more contemporary approach. It’s a welcome change — the texture adds lifestyle cred, while still retaining the shoe’s futuristic swagger. The visible Air cushioning and chunky build echo elements that make Sergio Lozano’s Air Max 95 DNA a design mainstay after almost three decades.
