The 30th anniversary run of the Nike Air Max 95 this year will include a retro release of the "Bright Mandarin" colorway, as evidenced by these images here.

According to a sneaker industry source, the upcoming "Bright Mandarin" Air Max 95 is dropping as part of Nike's Summer 2025 range and should hit retailers between April and June. Sources have also confirmed to Complex that this pair will be more widely available than this year's "Neon" retro and will release via SNKRS for $180.

Nike introduced this grey and orange Air Max 95 colorway in 1997, and the upcoming version will be almost identical to the original release, albeit with the big bubble treatment on the midsole.

As of now, a firm release date for the "Bright Mandarin" Air Max 95 big bubble retro has not yet been announced by Nike.

UPDATE (05/28): Official images of the upcoming "Bright Mandarin" Air Max 95 big bubble have emerged. The sneaker will release on June 6 via SNKRS and at select retailers for $190.
