The Nike Air Max 95 is a widely-recognizable, popular sneaker from NIKE,
Inc. As its name suggests, the silhouette debuted in 1995. Designed by
Sergio Lozano, whose earliest design
work for the Swoosh consisted of Tennis, Training, and ACG products, the
model was a visual departure from previous silhouettes in the Air Max
line. And intentionally so. Given the success of Michael Jordan's Air
Jordan collection, basketball was NIKE, Inc.'s primary focus throughout
the '90s. In trying to reclaim some of the momentum that
Tinker Hatfield
created with the Air Max 1, Nike's Running design team encouraged Lozano
to take a risk and have fun with what would become the Air Max 95. In an
interview for the sneaker's 20th Anniversary, Lozano shared that the
goal in designing the model was to create something Nike, and by
extension, the world hadn't seen before.
