Nike Air Max 95 Spark Blue - IM7410-100
The latest addition to the Big Bubble revival is the "Spark Blue" colour way. And what a pair of 110s these are!
This version takes cues from a 2011 release, but Nike has pushed the silhouette closer to the 1995 blueprint. The gradient suede panels shift from charcoal to soft grey, a look that always sparks debate among collectors. Some love the subtle fade, others swear by heavier contrasts, but that’s the beauty of the 110, it’s a silhouette that invites strong opinions.
“Blue Spark” hints run through the lace loops, tongue pill and heel Swoosh, giving the shoe that electric pop that fans have argued places this pair in the top tier of 95 colour ways. The newly updated midsole brings a softer, more cushioned feel, while the tinted Air units add a clean icy finish.
Here’s where things change.
While past OG Big Bubble retros like the “Neon” and “Mandarin” came in the grey and black 'OG' box, the Blue Spark arrives in the standard red and white Nike packaging. Some old school collectors might roll their eyes, but this is actually in line with how the original version was boxed. It’s not the flashy choice, but it’s historically accurate.
In the US, the Blue Spark is tied to hip hop heritage and street legends.
In Liverpool, the shoe is tied to identity.
You’ll still see lads around town rocking old pairs, and any collector here will tell you the Blue Spark sits comfortably near the top of the 110 hierarchy. It’s one of those colour ways that instantly connects with people and tells a story without saying anything.
At Block P, we’ve seen firsthand how certain 110s hit different across generations. Blue Spark pairs always spark conversations, memories and debates about what makes a true “grail.” This release will be no exception.
