Want to make Nike’s classic Air Max 95 sneaker even better? Zip it up. Nike’s Big Bubble Air Max 95 Zip is a rugged display where a classic Air Max 95 shoe now wears a sleek zipper up top.

Signature Air Max staples are present throughout the sneaker, including that classic wavy body, visible air unit, and layered panel design.

Despite its zipped-up charm, the Air Max 95 Zip sneaker does have laces, they’re just tucked behind a sweet suede shroud.

2025 has been a big year for the Air Max 95, what with the classic sneaker turning 30 and all. What better way to celebrate three decades of footwear dominance than with an of-the-times upgrade?

Zipper pandemonium has been shrouding the sneaker world in a weatherproof shield, acting as the ultimate style enhancement.

Whether it be a pretty pink moccasin or a scarlet red Air Max Sunder, Nike has given zip-tastic upgrades to a variety of its sleeper slide-ons and iconic sneakers alike.

By and large, though, the Air Max 95 Zip sneaker, available on the Nike website for $210, is the most classic sneaker to experience this zipped-up renaissance. But it almost certainly won't be the last.
