Nike Air Max 95 “Olympic” Big Bubble Returns in 2026

The Nike Air Max 95 “Olympic” Big Bubble returns in 2026 looking exactly how it should: loud, confident, and unapologetically rooted in early-2000s Nike energy. This pair doesn’t try to modernize the idea or tone anything down. Instead, it leans fully into the colour-heavy identity that made the original Olympic release memorable in the first place.

This updated version is built on a crisp white base, but that clean foundation is quickly overtaken by a sweep of colour that runs through the signature layered panels. Yellow mesh dominates the upper, giving the shoe an almost race-day feel, while bold red, green, and blue leather waves cut across the sides in classic 95 fashion. Black grounds the lower portion of the upper, adding contrast and keeping the brighter colours from feeling too chaotic. The metallic gold Swoosh at the heel is subtle but intentional, acting as a quiet nod to podium finishes without stealing attention from the rest of the design.

One of the standout details on this 2026 version is how clearly the Olympic theme is worked into the structure rather than just the palette. The coloured lace loops mirror the same red, blue, yellow, green, and black tones found across the upper, reinforcing the concept from top to bottom. It’s a detail that feels very true to Nike’s design language from that era, where storytelling lived in the small touches.

Materials stay classic and functional. Breathable mesh keeps things lightweight, while smooth leather overlays bring durability and that unmistakable Air Max 95 texture. Underfoot, the Big Bubble Air unit makes its return, larger and more visible than standard retros, giving the shoe a slightly more aggressive stance and reinforcing its throwback appeal.

In a time when many releases rely on collaborations or stripped-back colourways, the Air Max 95 “Olympic” Big Bubble stands out by simply being itself. It’s a reminder of when Nike wasn’t afraid to push colour, reference global sport directly, and let a sneaker feel energetic without explanation. For longtime Air Max fans, this 2026 release feels less like a remake and more like a proper continuation of a bold chapter in the 95’s history.
