Nike Air Max 95 'Olympic' (2026)
Description
The Nike Air Max 95 ‘Olympic’ (2026) revives one of the most celebrated colorways from the Air Max 95 lineage, reintroducing the iconic Olympic Rings‑inspired palette nearly 22 years after its original debut. First worn around the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, this vibrant iteration blends heritage aesthetics with contemporary sneaker culture, asserting itself as a standout in Nike’s Spring 2026 retro lineup and a must‑own for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Overview
The Nike Air Max 95 ‘Olympic’ (style code IB7872‑100) features a crisp white mesh and leather base that provides a clean backdrop for the signature multi‑color paneling drawn from the iconic Olympic Rings — Photo Blue, Varsity Maize (yellow), Classic Green, Chile Red, and Black appear across the layered side panels and lace loops. Metallic Gold accents elevate the design, seen on the embroidered mini Swoosh on the heel and the Air Max tongue logo, reinforcing the celebratory theme. The sneaker honours the original approach by reinstating Big Bubble Air units visible in the sole, mirroring the cushioning setup found in early Air Max 95 releases and delivering enhanced comfort and impact protection underfoot. A white midsole and black rubber outsole complete the retro silhouette, marrying performance and heritage styling.
Nike’s 2026 retro release of the Air Max 95 ‘Olympic’ bridges past and present, blending bold color storytelling with the silhouette’s iconic anatomical design cues. Authenticity and craftsmanship are upheld with each pair, making this sneaker a defining addition to any serious Air Max collection.

WHY OUR PRICES
The honest answer. The question we hear most: how can you sell the same sneakers for so much less? Here's the full, transparent breakdown — not a marketing line.
Where your money goes
At a boutique — $400
- The shoe itself ~15–25%
- Flagship store rent overhead
- Global advertising overhead
- Celebrity partnerships overhead
- Multi-layer distribution overhead
At Sole Dept
- The shoe itself what you pay for
- Boutique rent removed
- Advertising levy removed
- Celebrity premium removed
- Intermediary margins removed
Why we can do it
Production cost
The materials, construction and labour in a quality pair are a fraction of the boutique price. The rest is overhead and brand premium.
The retail mark-up
Brands add huge mark-ups to fund advertising, flagship stores and distribution across dozens of countries — you pay for all of it, whether you want to or not.
The Sole Dept difference
We source directly through UA (unauthorised authentic) supply lines. Lean operating costs, and every dollar saved is passed to you at checkout.
PACKAGING & WHATS INCLUDED
Every pair arrives complete. When your order lands, it looks and feels exactly the way it should — the full retail presentation, nothing stripped out. Here's precisely what comes in the box.
What's in every order
Original branded box
Each pair ships in its correct branded shoe box with the matching size label and SKU — the same box the silhouette is meant to come in, protected inside an outer shipping carton so it arrives crush-free.
Complete original packaging
Tissue paper, silica packs, the branded wrapping and inserts that shape the shoe in transit — all present, just as you'd expect from a boutique unboxing.
Dust bags
Where the model is issued with dust bags, they're included — ideal for storing your pair, keeping it clean between wears, and travelling with it.
Extras & spares
Spare laces, alternate lace colours, replacement parts and any accessories that ship with the original — included in the box exactly as intended.
Free gift with every order
On top of the full packaging, every Sole Dept order includes a complimentary free gift as a thank-you — a small extra tucked in the box, on us.
