Double Tap to ZoomSneakersOne Block Down's Nike Air Max 95 Lux Is Elegant AFNike's Air Max 95 Lux sneaker is back on the menu. And guess what? Italy's One Block Down is the head chef behind the latest collaboration.Last time we saw Nike's Air Max 95 Lux was in 2019...and it had Supreme branding! That's because it was part of a collaboration with the streetwear giant. At the time, Supreme cooked up three luxurious leather Air Maxes in red, blue, and black colorways.Seven years and a new collaborator later, the Air Maxes are still elegant as ever. The 2026 collab keeps the signature rippled leather uppers and other equally slick touches. As for what's new, a leather "mesh" update appears near the laces. And they feature Big Bubble soles, which advance Nike's current push for a more OG AM95 feel.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Oh, and One Block Down logos also appear throughout the newest pair.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Given that the brand's based in Milan, there have been murmurs about whether the Nike Air Max 95 features Italian leather. I mean, it wouldn't be the first Nike to do. We got Italian-made Forces in 2024.Either way, the Italian connection is still there with these nifty Air Max 95 Lux sneakers. Retailing for $200, the black One Block Down x Nike Air Max Lux sneakers are slated to release on November 6 on Nike's website.
