Nike is extending its waterproof Air Max 95 Big Bubble with a third Camo Green version, giving cold-weather sneaker wearers another option built for rain and slush. The shoe keeps the classic runner format but adds a GORE-TEX membrane, turning it into a more practical pick for winter streets.
The upper stacks dark military green with black for a military look, while stealthy soles and oversized Air units underfoot keep the cushioning prominent. Pairs are already showing up at some overseas retailers, and the style is expected to reach Nike's website soon.
GORE-TEX on a 30-year-old Air Max turns a familiar retro silhouette into an all-weather purchase instead of a fair-weather one. The waterproof build widens the model's role for buyers who want one sneaker to cover style and seasonal protection.
