Nike’s next Big Bubble 95 is an earth-toned one. The Air Max 95 Big Bubble “Cacao Wow” (IX6347-200) is listed on SNKRS and Nike.com for Tuesday, November 10, with Tropical Teal on the lace loops, Swoosh and Air units.
The bubble and the gradient
The 95’s side panels were always a gradient. Sergio Lozano has said the original 95 started black at the bottom to hide the dirt and faded up from there; this pair’s side layers likewise step from dark cacao brown up to tan. The darkest leather sits nearest the ground, as on the 1995 pair.
The “Big Bubble” is the heel Air unit. The 1995 original had a larger one, and Man of Many reports that several later retros quietly shrank it. Nike brought the bigger unit back in April 2025, the 95’s 30th year, and this pair carries it again.
The shoe
Nike lists the colorway as Cacao Wow/Black/Infinite Sable/Tropical Teal. The upper is layered, rippled genuine leather over black mesh, and the teal picks out the lace loops, the Swoosh by the heel and both visible Air units. Nike’s photos also show pink branding on the tongue and heel.
Release date and price
- US: Tuesday, November 10, 10:00 ET on Nike’s SNKRS listing and Nike.com, $190.

Will it be hard to get?
Our hype score is 24 (estimated): a general-release colorway on SNKRS and Nike.com, with no resale data to suggest a rush. Four days earlier, on November 6, SNKRS has the One Block Down Air Max 95 Big Bubble Lux, the collab that will take most of the attention. More from the brand on our Nike page.
