Nike's Air Max 95 'Anthracite Opti Yellow' swaps the usual suede for a nubuck upper, run mostly in anthracite with opti yellow taking over the forefoot mesh, lace webbing and heel tab. Black covers the mudguard and outsole, and a thin line of safety orange sits on the heel branding for contrast. The Air units at heel and forefoot stay housed in a black midsole. It released December 17, 2023 for $175.
Nubuck gives the shoe's wave-shaped panels a slightly stiffer, brushed finish than the suede versions of the same silhouette, which makes the opti yellow sections read flatter and brighter rather than sinking into a napped texture. It is one of the model's higher-visibility colourways, built for contrast rather than the tonal grey treatments the shoe is more commonly known for.
