Official Look at the Nike Air Max 95 "Tattoo/Light Violet Ore"

Name: Nike Air Max 95 "Tattoo/Light Violet Ore"Colorway: Black/Tattoo-Light Violet Ore-Velvet BrownSKU: IQ0277-010MSRP: $200 USDRelease Date: January 13, 2026Where to Buy: NikeThe Nike Air Max 95 has always been a silhouette rooted in biology, but its latest iteration, the "Tattoo/Light Violet Ore," treats the human anatomy-inspired design like a fresh canvas for body art. Officially revealed as part of Nike’s early 2026 lineup, this shoe takes the "Big Bubble" aesthetic and injects it with a gritty, expressive edge that blends high-fashion muted tones with traditional ink culture.The colorway is a sophisticated gradient of Black, Velvet Brown, and Light Violet Ore. The signature wavy side panels—originally designed to mimic muscle fibers—are rendered in premium mixed materials that transition from a dark, earthy base to a soft, smoky violet. However, the true standout detail is the etched "tattoo" motifs subtly integrated into the design, giving the sneaker a hand-drawn, artisanal feel. This "inked" aesthetic is complemented by the "Big Bubble" Max Air units in the heel and forefoot, which remain a focal point of Nike's 2026 retro strategy, offering more visible volume and a nostalgic ride.Following the luxury-leaning influence of previous "Violet Ore" collaborations, like those with A Ma Maniére, this in-line release proves that Nike is committed to elevating its icons with complex textures and storytelling that go far beyond the original 1995 track specs.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
