Christmas Day for Air Max Heads is upon us.
March 26, the day the Air Max 1 originally launched in 1987, has long become a day of celebration for Air Max fans.
That significant day and launch redefined Nike Running and Lifestyle forever. To this day, Air Max fans around the world sport their favorite sneaker from the beloved Air Max Line as a form of celebration.
Air Max Day isn’t just about flexing your grails; it’s about community and celebrating the transformative sneaker line. For years, Nike has leaned into the celebration- launching special Air Max releases on March 26th to celebrate the momentous day.
This year is no exception. In fact, Air Max Day 2026 is loaded with plenty of offerings for fans of the line. Below is the slate of Air Max Day releases expected to launch a week from today.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble W “Pink Foam”– One of the first Air Max 95 colorways to get the Big Bubble treatment in 2025 is restocking on Air Max Day. The classic Air Max 95 color-blocking is set off by tasteful hits of pink throughout the sneaker. Much like last year’s rendition, the Pink Foam 95 will release in Women’s sizing.
Air Liquid Max ” Radiant Green and Apple Green”– There cannot be an Air Max Day without Nike launching the latest in the line. The Liquid Max feels fluid and smooth thanks to the drop-in Cushlon Midsole, stacked atop the point-loaded Air system. The model will drop in its debut colorway on March 26th.
Air Max 90 ‘Infrared’ 3M– The classic Infrared Air Max 90 does not need much of an introduction. The iconic sneaker will be returning with updated materials and 3M to make it even flashier.
Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Paisley”– Just when you thought the Neon Air Max 95 could not get crazier. Air Mad Day tends to have curveballs, and this year is no exception. The Paisley Air Max 95 takes the beloved Neon and introduces it to western prints- allowing it to stand out in a way we never saw coming.
Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Greedy”– Air Max 95 fans have been treated so well in the last two years. Their greed is once again met with another beloved pair making a return.
