Nike Air Max 95 'Bright Mandarin' Release Date (2025)

Nike continues its standout 30th anniversary celebration of the Air Max 95 with the return of the fan-favorite Bright Mandarin colorway, officially set to release on June 6, 2025. As part of a milestone year packed with collaborations, reissues, and the revival of the original “big bubble” Air units, the 'Bright Mandarin' retro joins an impressive lineup that already includes heavy hitters like the 'Neon' and the upcoming Nike SB crossover. With its clean aesthetic and bold accents, this 2025 edition stays true to the spirit of the 2011 original while embracing the performance and design upgrades that define today’s retros.

The sneaker features the signature grey gradient upper that defines the Air Max 95, accented by vivid orange hits—dubbed 'Bright Mandarin'—on the lace loops, visible Air units, and tongue/Swoosh branding. A subtle but effective black outline around the Swoosh adds a sharper contrast compared to earlier colorways like the 'Pink Foam' or 'Neon.' Underfoot, the OG-style “big bubble” Air units offer a nostalgic nod for longtime fans while enhancing comfort and visibility. With the Bright Mandarin bringing together classic design and anniversary-specific updates, it’s already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated non-collab AM95 releases of the year.

Mark your calendars as the Nike Air Max 95 'Bright Mandarin' releases on June 6, 2025.
