White forms the base of the upper, with ultramarine and solar red waves breaking across the forefoot and heel. Black covers the outsole, the exposed Air units, the eyelets, tongue and Swoosh, and a red and white two-tone patch marks the quarter panel along with subtle ripple detailing. Sergio Lozano, who designed the original Air Max 95, is credited on this pair as well. It released on February 2, 2018 at $160.
The white base sets this pair apart from the darker greys, blacks and khakis more common across later Air Max 95 releases, putting the ultramarine and solar red combination front and center rather than as a secondary accent. Black detailing on the outsole and Air units keeps the sole unit grounded against the brighter upper. At $160, it launched at a lower price than every other Air Max 95 colorway in this lineup.
