Another Air Max 95 Zip On The Way, This Time In Phantom & Black

The Nike Air Max 95 Zip “Phantom” takes a familiar silhouette and pushes it into a more understated, lifestyle driven space. While the Air Max 95 is often associated with aggressive gradients and bold colour blocking, this version goes in the opposite direction, focusing on texture, restraint, and subtle detail.

Dressed primarily in soft, off-white and light grey tones, the upper leans heavily on shaggy suede panels that give the shoe a worn in, almost weathered character. The texture does most of the work here, adding depth without relying on loud colours. Black accents around the collar, outsole, and heel Swoosh introduce contrast and help anchor the design, preventing the lighter palette from feeling washed out. A small hit of light crimson near the tongue adds just enough edge without disrupting the overall calm of the colourway.

The defining feature, however, is the zippered shroud that replaces the traditional exposed lacing system. This design choice cleans up the profile significantly, smoothing out the upper and giving the shoe a more streamlined, utilitarian feel. It’s a subtle nod to early 2000s experimentation within Nike’s Air Max line, reintroduced here in a way that feels intentional rather than gimmicky.

Underfoot, the Air Max 95’s signature tooling remains untouched, maintaining the familiar balance of comfort and structure that’s kept the model relevant for decades. The visible Air units sit behind a slightly creamy midsole, reinforcing the vintage aesthetic while keeping the shoe firmly rooted in everyday wearability.

Rather than trying to reinvent the Air Max 95, the Zip “Phantom” refines it. This is a pair designed for those who appreciate the silhouette’s history but want something quieter, more tactile, and easier to style. It’s a reminder that sometimes the strongest updates don’t come from adding more, but from knowing what to pull back.
