Nike is bringing the fan-favorite “Curry” theme back to the Air Max line next year. This week, an upcoming style of the Air Max 95 has surfaced, pairing the shoe’s classic gradient look with a spicy “Hot Curry” orange accent.

Nike’s history with curry-inspired colorways is rooted in the early 2000s, when earthy, spice-toned palettes began appearing across lifestyle and skate silhouettes. The most famous examples come from the Nike SB Dunk line, where warm browns, golden yellows, and rich amber hues were used to mimic the depth of curry blends. These releases became cult favorites for their versatility and unique storytelling. Over time, Nike extended the curry theme to models like the Air Max series, mostly through partnerships with Japanese retailer atmos, with releases like the AM1 Curry.

This week, another entry in the long running Air Max Curry series has crossed our timelines, bringing some spice to the Air Max 95 for the first time. This early look at the shoes comes from Instagram user @websmatic, who shares a lot of retro and upcoming releases through their page. Currently dubbed “Hot Curry”, this pair is expected to release sometime in 2026. The new look features the 95’s signature gradient color scheme, starting with a black sole and mixing in a few shades of grey with each layer. The accent color is a muted “Hot Curry” orange, appearing on the lacing system, branding, and Air bags.
