Nike Air Max 95 Medium Olive - HJ5996-003
Some colour ways shout. Others just settle into your rotation and never leave.
The Nike Air Max 95 OG “Medium Olive” sits firmly in that second category.
Joining the 30th anniversary lineup, this women’s exclusive Big Bubble edition brings a refined twist on the original 95 blueprint. It isn’t an OG colour way in the strict sense, but the moment early images surfaced, the 110 community locked onto it. Olive tones have always had a way of winning people over when they’re done right, and this pair nails it.
The upper keeps the iconic wavy panels that define the Air Max 95, built in a clean greyscale gradient that pays homage to the 1995 design. It’s the same blend of muscle-inspired structure and subtle texturing that made the silhouette timeless in the first place.
Olive green accents run through the eyelets, mini Swoosh and tongue badge, breaking up the neutrals just enough to create personality without going loud. It gives the shoe a tactical, outdoors-ready feel while still fitting the everyday 110 look. People loved what Nike did with “Dark Beetroot” a couple of years back, this pair taps into the same energy but with a more versatile, wearable palette.
As with the rest of the Big Bubble series, this pair brings the enlarged heel unit that Nike originally experimented with back in the ‘90s. The black polyurethane midsole houses the Big Bubble in the heel and the standard Air unit up front, giving that soft, cushioned feel fans have come to expect from the updated line.
Underfoot, the waffle outsole and TPU shank plate give you structure and traction, making the Medium Olive one of the more practical pairs in the anniversary lineup.
This is the kind of 110 colour way that gets more love the longer you wear it. It’s subtle, clean, incredibly easy to style and has enough detail to stand out if you’re paying attention.
At Block P, we’ve seen how earth tones resonate with both older heads and younger collectors. Olive pairs especially tend to move quickly, they sit in that sweet spot between everyday wear and something a bit different from the usual greys and blues you see around Merseyside. Expect these to be no different.
