Nike Air Max ZM950 Japan

The Nike Air Max ZM950 Japan re-imagines the silhouette of the Air Max 95 and sets it atop a newer midsole with visible and exaggerated Air Max bubble cushioning.

The mesh upper of the Japan model of the Nike Air Max ZM 950 undulates in wavy lines that shift from gray to black on a white background. Leather overlays are both gray and black. Black laces loop into white eyestays over a black tongue, while the sock liner is Lime Green, like one of the two Air bubbles beneath the black foam midsole. The outsole is black leather with hits of dark gray and translucent Lime Green.

What our experts appreciate most about this shoe is the red Nike swoosh on the lateral side below the collar, matching the red of the Japanese flag branding on the black leather heel overlay. The Nike Air Max ZM950 Japan was released on August 18, 2020, for a retail price of $180.
