The Nike Air Max 95 is inspired by human anatomy, resulting in its distinctive wave-like design. The combination of different materials and visible Max Air cushioning creates a layered look with exceptional comfort.

- The upper is inspired by the human body—the midsole represents the spine, the layered inserts represent the muscles, and the laces represent the ribs of the shoe
- Textile and synthetic leather create a layered look that is designed for durability
- Visible Max Air cushioning provides lightweight cushioning
- Flex grooves in the midsole/outsole allow for free movement
