The Air Max 95 “Hot Curry” Set To Drop First Quarter Of 2026
Every now and then, Nike quietly delivers something special, the kind of pair that isn’t overhyped or loud at first glance, but slowly creeps onto your radar and refuses to leave. That’s exactly the energy surrounding the Air Max 95 “Hot Curry,” a colour way that feels understated, wearable, and perfectly timed for the colder months ahead.
First leaked in images back in October, the pair immediately caught attention for its muted, utilitarian look. Instead of bright or flashy tones, Nike keeps things grounded with a layered mix of dark greys and black across the upper. The signature wavy panels arrive in a gradient of charcoal, slate, and deep black, built with a combination of mesh, and suede that add both texture and depth. It’s the kind of material mix that looks better the closer you get, breathable mesh up top, soft suede wrapping the mudguard, and sturdy side panels that give the shoe a durable, everyday feel.
The “Hot Curry” hits are used sparingly but effectively. Small pops of burnt orange show up on the lace loops, mini Swoosh at the heel, tongue branding, and inside the visible Air units, breaking up the dark palette without overpowering it. Grey rope laces keep things cohesive, while the black midsole and outsole anchor the whole design with a clean, no nonsense finish. It’s a simple formula, but it works, earthy tones that feel easy to wear with just about anything.
As for release details, the Nike Air Max 95 “Hot Curry” is expected to land in the first quarter of 2026, with a strong possibility of a full family run including men’s sizing alongside GS, PS, and TD options. If the early buzz is anything to go by, this might be one of those quiet drops that ends up becoming a daily go-to for a lot of people. Clean, versatile, and built with just enough character, sometimes that’s all you really need.
