The Nike Air Max 95 in the Apple Green colorway, originally released in 2010, is set to return in spring 2026 exclusively through JD Sports. This retro version maintains the iconic design while incorporating a modernized cushioning update. Early shipments of grade school sizes have already begun arriving at select locations.
The Nike Air Max 95 “Apple Green” first appeared in 2010 as a limited JD Sports exclusive, quickly gaining a cult following among collectors for its vibrant accents and scarcity. That original release featured grey leather side panels in an Anthracite, White, and Iron Grey gradient, with Photo Blue and Green Apple details on the Swoosh, tongue branding, lace loops, and laces. The heel included a gradient blend in the Air unit.
For the 2026 comeback, Nike closely recreates this design but introduces a larger “big bubble” Air Max heel unit, a change seen in recent Air Max 95 retros to enhance cushioning while preserving the silhouette. New detailed images have surfaced, showcasing these elements ahead of the launch.
Reports confirm the sneaker will again be available only at JD Sports, in both men’s and grade school sizing. Early shipments of the grade school pairs have started reaching select JD Sports stores, indicating the wider release is nearing. The expected drop is in spring 2026, priced at $190 USD.
This limited distribution mirrors the 2010 strategy, which made the colorway one of the harder Air Max 95 pairs to obtain and helped build its loyal fanbase among longtime enthusiasts.
