Nike SB Has A “Varsity Maize” Air Max 95 Coming For Holiday 2026

Could any of us have predicted the power of the Nike SB crossover when the “Pine Green” Air Jordan 4 touched down? Well, given the massive response to that cross-category collab, perhaps we could’ve, but few would’ve been able to guess exactly how far it would’ve spread through the Swoosh catalog, now carrying over to the Air Force 1, Air Max 95, Air Max CB94, and threatening even more models in coming seasons (here’s looking at you, Nike SB Foamposite).

By way of Palace Skateboards signee Kyle Wilson, the Nike SB Air Max 95 is staying at the center of the conversation, already seeing co-signs from Eric Koston and a “Club 58” pair for the World Cup, among other mainline efforts. To be clear, what Wilson teased is not a link-up with the London skate brand, but rather a new “Varsity Maize” inline colorway set for release sometime between October and the end of the year. Backend information points to a palette of “Black/Varsity Maize/Stadium Green/Light Lemon Twist/Dutch Green/Legion Pine,” immediately conjuring up images of the silhouette’s iconic gradients given the appearance of multiple greens and yellows. Interestingly, this teaser shot includes a look at a jewel Swoosh just below the collar, while also confirming that black-heavy palette.

Again, the Nike SB Air Max 95 “Varsity Maize” has been tabbed for a Holiday 2026 release and a $190 retail price. Catch the slight but still significant teaser shot below.
