Nike Turned the OG Air Max 95 into a Lego Set You Can Build Yourself

Few sneakers have traveled as far, culturally speaking, as the Nike Air Max 95 “Neon.”

Designed by Sergio Lozano—who was working on Nike’s ACG line and relatively new to the brand at the time of design—the shoe released in 1995. The layered, anatomy-inspired upper and shock of volt green quickly turned it into a fixture of street culture—particularly in the UK, where the silhouette became shorthand for a certain stratum of urban cool.

Three decades later, the design is still finding new lives.

The latest comes not on foot but in brick. Nike and Lego have teamed up to produce a buildable version of the Air Max 95, recreating the famous runner in roughly 1,200 pieces.

The model faithfully translates the shoe’s signature gray-gradient side panels, neon accents, and visible Air bubbles into Lego form, right down to the sculpted midsole and wavelike upper.

Once assembled, the finished piece sits on a rotating display stand and even comes with its own Nike-branded mini figure—a nice nod to the crossover between toy culture and sneaker obsession. Think of it as a whole new way to build a sneaker collection.
