FAQs
What does the human anatomy inspiration mean for the design?
The Air Max 95's design by Sergio Lozano draws from human anatomy: the layered panels resemble muscle fibers, the lacing system mirrors a ribcage, and the sole is inspired by the human spine, with suede offering a nod to skin.
What is the 'Big Bubble' feature?
The 'Big Bubble' refers to the original, larger visible Air cushioning unit in the heel of the midsole. Its return signifies a re-release closer to the initial 1995 design, offering enhanced visual prominence and cushioning.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance like running?
While the Air Max 95 has an athletic heritage, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe in its current iteration. While comfortable for everyday walking, it is not optimized for high-performance running or intense sports.
How should I clean my Nike Air Max 95s?
For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser. Clean the rubber soles with mild soap and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What materials are used in these shoes?
The upper is constructed primarily from layered leather, with suede accents. The midsole features visible Air units, and the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Is the sizing true to fit for the Air Max 95?
Info needed: Sizing can vary between individuals and shoe models. It is generally recommended to try them on or consult Nike's official size chart. Some users report the Air Max 95 can fit snugly.
Is this a unisex shoe?
While this specific variant is listed as 'Female' (UK 5), the Nike Air Max 95 is widely regarded as a unisex design, with sizes and colorways released for both men and women across its various iterations.
What is the MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for this specific model?
The MPN for this model is IB7936-001.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The leather upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly.
Scuffs or dirt marks appear on the leather upper.
For light marks, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the area. For more stubborn stains, a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner can be applied following product instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Suede sections look flattened or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub the affected areas, lifting dirt and restoring the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used carefully.
The Air units appear cloudy or discolored.
This can be a natural occurrence over time due to wear and exposure. Regular cleaning of the midsole area can help maintain clarity, but significant clouding is generally cosmetic and does not affect cushioning performance. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs on the leather, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks.
