In addition to a couple of old dependable favorites, Nike’s Spring 2010 Air Max roster will also bring back a more underappreciated style as well. The Nike Air Max 95 and Nike Air Max 97 are no strangers to Retro releases and will both be released in two colorways. The classic Nike Air Max 95 “Neon” will be back for another go-around and will be joined by a Grey/Silver/Royal Blue version and the Nike Air Max 97 will be returning in Red/Metallic Silver and solid Black colorways. Joining its more popular Air Max siblings, 2010 will also see a comeback from the Nike Air Max Triax 94 LE in four new colorways, and although it may not have the loyal following of the others, based on these preview pics, these kicks probably have a good shot at a successful return campaign. Stay tuned for more images and specific release info later in the year, and for now, you can check out a bunch more pics by checking that link.

Already arriving at select Nike accounts, we get a look at the iconic Nike Air Max 95 “Fresh Water” in a classic colorway reminiscent of late 90’s color-ups. The kicks feature the Nike Air Max 95’s signature gradient pattern accented with teal or “fresh water” within the air bubble, lace loops and swoosh.

The Nike Air Max 95 was the first of its kind when it was released in 1995. Nike revolutionized running shoes when it released the Air Max 1 in 1987 being the first shoe to have visible Air Max cushioning. The Nike Air Max 95 was the first running shoe in history to have forefoot and heel Air Max cushioning. The Nike Air Max 95 was a huge hit when it was released. It came out in many famous colors that have been retroed many times such as the Neons, Slates, and Emeralds. The Air Max 95 was so successful that it was first “retroed” only 2 years after its release in 1997/1998.

The Air Max 95 was also the first Nike shoe to have an Air Max heel which was compressed to different pressures. The air pressure ranges from a low 5PSI in the back of the heel to 25PSI directly underneath the heel to provide optimal cushioning. Not only did the Air Max units provide second to none cushioning, but it provided great heel support.
