The Air Max 95 is gearing Adidas Superstar Donna up for a big period ahead, with a flurry of Fall releases set Nike Roshe Run Femme to flow your way.

The Nike by You customization platform took to new levels this week, introducing 37 new collaborative shoes through a joint program with We Are Cultivator. I spoke with a participant of the project, Jenni Riccetti, about her “On the Clouds” Air Max 95.

Nike by You’s latest collaborative release brings a wide mix of creatives to the table. Teaming up with Cultivator, the two released Adidas Ultra Boost Damen a total of 37 different sneakers from different designers, each telling their own story. To learn more, I had a chat with my local representative in the project, San Francisco-based fashion designer Jenni Riccetti. She told us about Adidas Gazelle Dames some of her favorite Nikes, the inspiration behind her Air Max 95 “On the Clouds”, and the role sneakers have had in her life.

It’s been 20 years since Nike first debuted the classic Air Max 95, which marked a big shift in the performance running sneaker market at the time. With its distinct rippled design across its upper, gradient gray color scheme, and bright neon yellow accents, the original model was a bold, provocative silhouette that had not been preceded by any sneaker before its time. Nike brought on board Nike ACG designer Sergio Lozano to spearhead the project, a trained industrial designer whose four-year experience with tennis and training shoes would bring a fresh perspective Adidas ZX 750 Damesto the Air Max family.

In the mid 1Adidas Ultra Boost Dámské 990s a shoe arrived that, despite the family name, bore little resemblance to its father. The Air Max 95 had been stripped down to the sole and built up again from scratch, Nike Air Presto Femmefor a shoe that looked so aggressive you’d be nervous of inviting it round for Christmas.

This iteration was the first to feature the dual air bubbles at the forefoot, alongside the trademark heel bubble. Design wise, it was inspired by the human body, although that’s not obvious on first view; the midsole acts as the spine, eyelets were ribs and the mesh uppers represented layers of muscles and flesh.

The classic colourway featured bright flouro yellow accents – emanating from inside the air bubbles, the shoe appeared to glow from within. Nike re-released its OG colourway last year (below), but that also disappeared quick.

With a canny eye, you can get pretty close to the OG with the NIKEiD customiser tool. If you decide to take a highlighter to the swoosh and lace loops, we won’t judge.
