Nike is bringing back one of its most iconic colour stories for Air Max Month 2026 with the release of the Air Max ‘Neon’ Pack. The collection is built around the original Nike Air Max 95 ‘Neon’ look and expands the legendary theme across multiple silhouettes, proving that the influence of this classic design is still as strong as ever.

Originally made famous by the Air Max 95, the Neon colourway has become one of the most recognisable looks in the Air Max catalogue. Built around a mix of white, grey, and black tones with bright neon accents, the design has defined the visual identity of the model for decades.

Four Icons, One Colour Story: Rather than focusing on a single release, Nike is extending the Neon theme across four different models. The pack includes the Air Max 95, Air Max 90, Air Max Plus, and Air Max TL 2.5.

Each silhouette interprets the Neon concept in its own way while staying true to the original formula. We are talking about the familiar greyscale upper paired with vibrant neon details that connect the collection visually. Of course, it would not be an Air Max collection without providing loads of comfort, too.

At the centre of the release is the Air Max 95 ‘Neon’, widely regarded as one of the most important designs in Air Max history. Its layered construction and neon accents continue to influence sneaker design decades after its original debut. This one is dropping in Men’s as well as WMNS and GS sizes.

But there is more than just sneakers: Nike is also releasing a range of matching apparel inspired by the Neon colour scheme, including graphic T-shirts and outerwear that reference classic Air Max design elements.

Why is the Neon colourway so famous for Air Max?

The Neon colourway was the original OG release that introduced the Nike Air Max 95 silhouette, designed by Sergio Lozano, back in 1995. Lozano was reportedly inspired by the rainy weather in Beaverton, the birthplace and headquarters of Nike in Oregon, USA. Runners and joggers would often find themselves literally stepping into puddles, leaving visible dark waterlines around their shoes, which influenced the distinctive gradient design.
