About the release
The Air Max 95 'Greedy' is back for its third chapter, and this time it's on Big Bubble tooling. The 'Greedy 2026' pulls from four of the model's most beloved colourways — Neon, Reverse Solar Red, Bright Mandarin and Hyper Turquoise / Grape — and splits them across mismatched left-right panels for a mashup that's essentially an AM95 archive in one shoe. Style code IM2211-001. It's the first Big Bubble treatment the 'Greedy' formula has ever received, and it caps off Nike's year-long AM95 30th anniversary rollout.
Each side of each shoe replicates a different heritage AM95. The 2026 version reverses the signature grey gradient and swaps in a crisp white midsole for a lighter, brighter overall read compared to the 2015 original. Tongue detailing goes its own way — Grape on the left, Reverse Solar Red on the right — with matching heel branding on each side. The 'Big Bubble' Air Max units land in Neon and Mandarin, sitting on top of fully black soles.

Release date and price
The Nike Air Max 95 OG Big Bubble 'Greedy 2026' releases in the UK on Wednesday 9 September 2026 at 8:00 AM via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. UK retail is £174.99, with US retail at $200. Men's sizing across the run.
The 'Greedy' name has been one of the AM95's most consistent recurring formulas — every past drop has moved swiftly on release day. Adding Big Bubble tooling to the mix for the first time only strengthens the appeal. Expect SNKRS to move fast and select retailer stock to sell through quickly.
Design and details
The 2015 'Greedy' set the template — split panels, mismatched heritage colours, a shoe you could wear and cover half the AM95 archive in one go. The 2026 edition takes that formula and applies it to the Big Bubble build for the first time, giving the design a proper structural update to match the concept.
Mismatched heritage panels
Each side of each shoe pulls from a different AM95 icon. The overall build stitches together Neon, Reverse Solar Red, Bright Mandarin and Hyper Turquoise / Grape — four of the model's most recognisable colour stories across a single silhouette. The tongues split the difference: Grape on the left, Reverse Solar Red on the right, each matching the branding on their respective heel. It's the same 'What The'-adjacent mashup logic Nike Basketball has used for years, applied here to running heritage.
Reversed grey gradient and white midsole
Where the AM95 traditionally runs a dark-to-light grey gradient across the layered upper, the 'Greedy 2026' reverses that direction — giving the pair a different visual weight than any standard AM95. The signature grey midsole is also swapped for a crisp white midsole, brightening the overall read of the shoe. Small changes, but they matter — the whole pair feels lighter and more contemporary than the 2015 original.
Big Bubble Air units and black soles
The Big Bubble Air Max units — the OG proportions that Nike properly revived in 2023 and have anchored the AM95's recent run — land here in Neon and Mandarin shades, one per foot. They sit on top of fully black soles, which anchor the shoe visually against the more chaotic upper. The Big Bubble treatment is the first time the 'Greedy' concept has been applied to this tooling, which is a proper design moment for anyone who's been collecting the Greedy series.

The first 'Greedy' AM95 dropped in 2015 for the model's 20th anniversary — a mismatched treatment borrowing from several of the era's beloved colourways. It sparked a mini-programme: three more 'Greedy' AM95s have released since, alongside spinoffs on the Pegasus 38, Air Max Plus and Air Presto, plus a mashup Vapor RF / AM95 hybrid in 2018. The formula is close cousin to Nike Basketball's 'What The' concept, though where 'What The' typically relies on different patterns, 'Greedy' works purely with solid colour panels.
The 2026 edition arrives at the tail end of a genuine AM95 moment. The silhouette has been the belle of the ball throughout 2025 for its 30th anniversary, with the Neon restock, the 'Family Reunion' pack, and multiple Big Bubble drops keeping the model in constant conversation. Bringing back 'Greedy' for the first time in years — and putting it on Big Bubble tooling — is Nike essentially wrapping up the anniversary run with one shoe that references all of it.

Two big changes. The 2026 edition sits on the Big Bubble tooling — a first for the 'Greedy' concept — restoring the OG AM95 Air unit proportions. The signature grey gradient across the upper is also reversed, and the standard grey midsole is swapped for a crisp white midsole for a lighter, brighter overall read.
