What reviewers are saying

"This is an extremely well executed model of an object that just a few years ago would have been impossible to make."

Brickset Reviews

"The Air Max 95 is one of the most iconic Nike sneakers of all time, beloved for its wavy design, and prominent air bubble cushioning system on its sole."

Ecosystem

43008 Nike Dunk — This one has surpassed it, partly on account of the bubbles! The Air Max 95 is easily the most realistic model of a trainer LEGO has made so far.

10282 Adidas Originals Superstar — LEGO trainers have come a long way since 10282 Adidas Originals Superstar.

43008 Nike Dunk — The Air Max 95 is a huge step up from the Nike Dunk in terms of complexity and detail, with significantly more mature sneaker design. Despite being the same price, the Air Max 95 represents a much greater achievement in design and feature set, showcasing how much LEGO Nike sneaker designs have evolved.

43021 Nike Dunk Trickshot — The Air Max 95 continues the progression of LEGO Nike sneaker design excellence, building on the template established by previous Dunk sets while introducing new elements and design sophistication.
