Where Can You Buy the Nike Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ 2025 Retro?

The Nike Air Max 95 “Neon,” an absolute classic piece of footwear from 1995 and one of the undisputed best Nike sneakers of all time, is coming back. Last year, Complex broke the news that the fan-favorite Nike Air Max 95 colorway would be returning in 2025, this time with a bigger Air Max bubble to make the model look more like the original. Months later, Nike confirmed in a SNKRS preview that a retro was indeed coming. And a few weeks ago, the brand did a surprise early drop of the Air Max 95 “Neon” in Tokyo, a city that’s always held the shoe in high regard.

For the rest of the world, the wait is very nearly over. This year’s big bubble retro of the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” (style number HM4740-001) will be released on April 4.

There are indications that the Air Max “Neon” 2025 retro will be a limited release. One source tells Complex that there are around 10,000 pairs in circulation, and retailers we’ve spoken to have said their allocations for the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” are low. If the shoe is in fact that limited, it’s a bit of a departure from years past, when the “Neon” 95s were usually more widely available. That said, Nike wouldn’t comment on the number of pairs made—it almost never does.

We’ve also heard from sources that after this year’s more limited retro of the Air Max 95 “Neon,” Nike will do a more extensive rollout of the shoe in early 2026, although, the brand wouldn’t confirm this detail either. But even those who strike out on this week’s release of what is undoubtedly the best Air Max 95 colorway of all time won’t have to wait too long for more Air Max 95s. Nike has a ton of retros, collaborations, and special styles planned for the shoe this year to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

Below is what you need to know about the 2025 Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” big bubble build, including how to get the shoes, what makes them different from earlier versions, and how they actually feel on feet.

Where Can You Buy the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon”?

The 2025 retro Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” with the big bubble build looks like it will be available primarily through “neighborhood” accounts, which are boutique-y Nike retail partners. Ahead of this weekend’s release, we compiled a store list of spots carrying the Air Max 95s. We also reached out to Nike to ask where the sneakers would be sold on their April 4 release date; Nike didn’t provide a full list, but did say that over 150 doors will have them.

Below is a list of stores we’ve confirmed will be releasing the Air Max 95 “Neon,” along with links to info on how to purchase, where provided. These stores have either posted about having the shoes, told Complex they will have stock, or appeared on a list Nike provided of stores selling the Air Max 95 “Neon.” (Note that we’ve not seen anything concrete about a release on the Nike SNKRS app just yet.)

How Much Will the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” Retro Cost?

This year’s Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” retro comes at a retail price of $180 in the US; retailers in Europe are listing the shoe at €190; in the UK, they will cost £175. How does that compare to the price of previous releases?

In 2020, the last time Nike released the Air Max 95 “Neon,” the sneaker cost $170. When the Air Max 95 first released in 1995, the retail price was $140. The shoe’s price spawned a nickname in the UK, where Air Max 95s have long been colloquially known as “110s” for their onetime price of £110.

How Do Nike Air Max 95s Fit?

Usually the Nike Air Max 95 is a snug shoe. Past retros have been a little harsh on the toes, with a narrow toebox that could be unforgiving. It’s a sneaker that people are sometimes inclined to go a half size up on for these reasons, but we find that the 2025 retro with the big bubble build runs true to size. The toebox on the 2025 Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” retro is roomier, making the sneaker a little bit more comfortable.

How Is This Year’s Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” Different?

The biggest difference to note on the 2025 retro of the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” is the size of the Air bubbles in the sole, which are bigger than they’ve been in recent years. The namesake Air units in the shoe got smaller in the mid 2000s. Since then, the Nike Air Max 95 has never looked quite the same, its bubbles never as bulbous as they were on the original pairs.

The 2025 pair is closer to the original with respect to its Air units on the midsole, but the change isn’t as drastic as that made on the “big bubble” version of the Air Max 1 ’86 that Nike introduced in 2023. The difference in this year’s Air Max 95 is most notable in the heel Air unit, which protrudes out further than the Air units used on most Air Max 95s from the past 20 years. The bubbles on the 2025 pair also have a seam on the side, a detail that had gone missing from the shoe.

How Many Times Has the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” Released?

The Air Max 95 “Neon” is one of those original colorways that Nike frequently reissues—it’s been brought back over 10 times at this point. After its original release, the Air Max 95 “Neon” returned in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2020. In addition to those straightforward retros of the sneaker, Nike’s created variations on the original “Neon” 95s over the years, outfitting the shoe with removable patches, safari prints, and more.

Can I Run in Nike Air Max 95s?

Please don’t. Look, the Nike Air Max 95 was a running sneaker when it first came out in ‘95, but the current version is a sportswear shoe; it’s not meant for real running. Trust us—we ran in the Air Max 95s so you wouldn’t have to. If you are looking for a legit pair of sneakers to run in, there are far better options.
