About the release
Nike's Air Max 95 is doing its cleanest Bred impression of the year. The 'Black Red Anthracite' takes Sergio Lozano's anatomy-inspired design and runs it through darkened greyscale tones, with University Red used as punctuation rather than the main story. It's the kind of AM95 that could quietly grow into a future classic — direct sportswear styling, dark base, small red hits, no gimmicks. Style code IV5767-001.
The upper leans on the AM95's usual mixed-material formula. Black mesh sits as the base with matching suede on the toe, and the layered wavy side panels shift through dark grey and black across the panel structure. Grey lace loops cut through the centre for a small contrast moment, and a dotted overlay near the heel adds texture across the back of the shoe. University Red appears on the tongue badge, the rear mini Swoosh, the heel branding and a few hits underfoot — Nike has also tinted the visible Air units with a reddish shade, which pulls the red into the build rather than leaving it as pure branding. It's a proper entry in the wider Nike 'Bred' colourways lineage.
UK release is Friday 31 July 2026 for £175 via Nike and select Nike Sportswear retailers.

Release date and price
The Nike Air Max 95 'Black Red Anthracite' releases in the UK on Friday 31 July 2026 via Nike and select Nike Sportswear retailers, online and in-store. UK retail is £175, with US retail set at $190. Unisex sizing across the run.
This is a general release rather than a SNKRS-exclusive drop. Expect a standard open buy on launch day, though the Bred palette has a way of building demand quietly — plenty of past AM95s in this colour direction have grown into cult favourites long after their initial release.
Design and details
Some of the strongest AM95 colourways in the silhouette's history have been simple black and red executions, particularly the JD-exclusive takes of the 2000s and 2010s. The 'Black Red Anthracite' isn't a reissue of any of those, but it lands in the same visual family — a clean, direct sportswear execution that leans on the AM95's own design language rather than pushing new concepts on top of it.
Black mesh and suede upper
The base of the shoe runs in black mesh across the main panel structure, with a matching black suede toe providing a slightly softer material break at the front. It's a classic AM95 material mix — mesh where breathability matters, suede where structure does — and the tonal black finish lets the material contrast do the visual work.
Dark greyscale side panels
The layered wavy side panels — Sergio Lozano's anatomy-inspired design — shift through dark grey and black. There's no bright gradient here, just a controlled tonal ladder within the darker end of the palette. The layering gives the shoe its depth without needing loud colours, which is what allows the University Red hits to actually land as punctuation later on.
Grey lace loops and dotted heel
Grey lace loops cut through the centre of the shoe, adding a small tonal break to the lacing zone. A dotted overlay pattern near the heel adds a bit of texture to the back half — a small detail, but it stops the rear of the shoe from feeling flat next to the busy side panels. Both details work in the same restrained register as the rest of the build.
University Red accents
The red is where the colourway earns its Bred styling. University Red appears on the tongue badge, the rear mini Swoosh, the heel branding and small hits underfoot — placement-heavy without being intrusive. The standout move is Nike tinting the visible Air units with a reddish shade, which pulls the colour into the sole structure rather than leaving it stranded on branding. It's the difference between a red-accented AM95 and one where the red actually reads as part of the build.

Bred styling and the AM95's future classic potential
Black and red — the 'Bred' colourway — has a long history at Nike, most obviously through Air Jordan, but the AM95 has quietly built up its own catalogue of standout executions in this palette. Some of the strongest AM95s in the silhouette's history were JD-exclusive takes from the 2000s and 2010s, several of which used black-and-red as the base concept. Limited quantities from JD accentuated their status over time, but the real reason those pairs became cult classics is that the colour combination genuinely suits the AM95 architecture.
The 'Black Red Anthracite' isn't a direct reissue of any of those pairs. It's a general release execution of a similar palette, with the difference sitting in the details — red-tinted Air units, dotted heel overlays, controlled greyscale side panels. Whether it becomes a future classic is a question for later. What's clear right now is that it's one of the more considered general-release AM95s of 2026.

Are the Air units on this AM95 tinted red?
