Following releases of the “Neon” and “Reverse Neon” colorways, the 30th anniversary celebration of the Air Max 95 continues with the return of the “Bright Mandarin.”

Originally released in 2011, the Air Max 95 “Bright Mandarin” borrows the gradient grey design of the classic “Neon” colorway—albeit in slightly different tones—and swaps the neon yellow accents for an equally eye-catching orange hue. This colorway now returns with the OG “big bubble” on the heel, designed to more closely resemble the shape of the original AM95s from 1995.

Early looks of the shoe have been shared by select fashion industry insiders, including Circulate founder Corey Populus and renowned stylist Veneda Carter. These will be more widely available than both the “Neon” and “Reverse Neon” colorway, which were rumored to be limited to 10,000 pairs and 1,500 pairs, respectively.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Bright Mandarin” drops Summer 2025 on SNKRS and at select retailers. Grab an early look below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for an exact release date.
