The sneaker scene is gearing up for a monumental year, and at the heart of it? The Air Max 95, or as It’s affectionately known here in Liverpool—the 110. With the model celebrating its 30th anniversary, Nike has lined up a series of must-have releases that will have collectors and casual wearers alike excited to purchase their pairs.
The Air Max 95 first dropped in 1995, designed by Sergio Lozano and inspired by the human anatomy. Its unique layered upper, wavy side panels, and visible Air cushioning in the heel and forefoot instantly set it apart. In the UK, and particularly in Liverpool, the shoe gained legendary status, earning its "110s" nickname due to its original £110 price tag. Fast forward 30 years, and its influence remains as strong as ever - But with a higher price point of £175.
Nike isn’t holding back when it comes to celebrating this milestone. Following a trend of big-bubble retros, we’re seeing the return of classic and beloved colourways with modern upgrades while still staying true to their roots.

One of the most legendary 110s of all time is making yet another return. The OG Neon, first released in 1995, is back with all the original details that made it an icon. This time around, Nike is getting even closer to the original design with a larger Air unit (Bubble), premium materials, and that unmistakable grey gradient with neon accents.

More fan-favourite colour ways, the Solar Red & Crystal Blue's, are set to hit shelves once again. Expect the same grey-to-white gradient on the upper, but with vibrant Solar Red and Crystal Blue pops on the lace loops, branding, and visible Air units. The midsole gets a blacked-out treatment, making those signature accents pop even more.

Liverpool FC x Nike Air Mair 95 – A Scouser’s Dream? Nike is tapping into Liverpool’s deep connection with the 110s by releasing a special Liverpool FC edition. Featuring a reverse gradient design, black mesh, and suede overlays, this one is a direct nod to the city’s football and streetwear culture. A bold red Air unit, Liver Bird tongue lining, and subtle club details make this a must-cop for Reds fans and sneaker lovers alike. With previous Liverpool-inspired AM95s dropping in 2015 and 2022, this latest release is set to be one of the most sought-after sneakers of the year.
With Nike going all out for the Air Max 95’s 30th anniversary, 2025 is looking like a memorable year for 110 fans.
With 110 prices now starting from £175, we can expect the OG Neons to retail no less than this! Stay updated on this restock by signing up to Air Max 95 restock alerts here at Bennetts.
