The Nike Air Max 95 “Japan” is a colorway of the vintage performance running shoe that shows appreciation for the country's influence on American fashion. A September 2021 release, the “Japan” or “Smoke Grey” version of the Air Max 95 is not an original member of Nike's old school “Concept Japan” collection of Japan-exclusive releases, but no doubt inspired by the line. A black-to-light grey gradient color scheme highlights the look of the wavy textile panels found on the shoe's upper. A Chile Red Swoosh is embroidered on the heel. Fiery red nylon eyelets contrast the white mesh material that surrounds the tongue. The reflective grey heel panel features a tonal cherry blossom print. Additional cherry blossom detailing appears on the outsole. True to the original Air Max 95, the “Japan” is complete with a foam midsole with visible Air bubbles in the forefoot and heel.
