Nike Air Max 95 OG “Comet Red”

Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble “Comet Red”

The inversion of the icon. The Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble “Comet Red” returns for only the third time in thirty years — following retros in 2003 and 2010 — as the Big Bubble program’s most anticipated OG colorway revival since the “Neon” launched the campaign. Where the 95’s most famous gradient builds from light at the midsole to dark at the collar, the “Comet” flips that logic entirely — white at the base, fading through neutral grey and medium grey upward into black at the top panels, the gradient running in reverse with the visual drama of a colorway that understood its own distinctiveness from 1995 and has been proven right every year since.

The full suede upper carries the inverted gradient across Sergio Lozano’s anatomy-inspired layered construction with the material depth that the 30th anniversary Big Bubble restoration demanded — the panels building from white through grey into black with the measured precision of a colorway that earns its nickname from a single accent color rather than the palette that surrounds it. Comet Red arrives at the lace loops, heel branding, tongue tag, and visible Air units with the vivid, fiery intensity of a streak crossing a dark sky — the red that makes everything else in the colorway make sense, the color that gives the “Comet” its name and its identity in a single, concentrated decision. The Big Bubble enlarged Air unit sits beneath in the most architecturally honest form the 95 has worn since the original run — the heel and forefoot cushioning returned to the proportions Lozano intended, the bubble as prominent and as honest as 1995 demanded.

Coveted for a reason, returned for the right one. The “Comet Red” has been on collector wishlists between every retro and arrives in 2026 at $200 in the Big Bubble construction that finally does the original colorway full justice.
