Released in December 2017, the Air Max 95 Essential 'Black Grey' represents a metaphorical shift from darkness to brightness through its unique layers and gradient detailing. Sergio Lozano, the esteemed Nike designer, found inspiration in the human body for the creation of the original AM97, and this updated iteration perfectly embodies his vision with its seamless color progression. The midsole of the sneaker features white eyestay straps that are obscured by horizontal overlays, artfully mimicking the structure of the spine, ribs, and connecting muscles. With its thoughtfully designed elements, the Air Max 95 Essential 'Black Grey' truly encapsulates the transition from the dark to the light.
