Air Max 95 OG in ‘White and Black’: How to buy in South Africa

Nike’s Air Max 95 OG in “White and Black” has launched, but here’s what South African buyers should expect to pay after shipping and customs.

Air Max 95 OG White and Black

The Nike Air Max 95 OG returns in a new “White and Black” colourway and is now available to sneaker enthusiasts in South Africa.

This release stays true to the original design while introducing a clean, crisp colour palette that makes it both stylish and versatile.

The Air Max 95 is known for its layered upper, inspired by the human anatomy, with the gradient pattern symbolising muscle fibres and ribs.

This latest version enhances the classic silhouette with stark contrasts — sharp white overlays against a deep black base — making it suitable for everyday wear.

The sneaker also features Nike’s signature visible Air cushioning that runs the length of the sole, ensuring both comfort and support.

Air Max 95 OG ‘White and Black’ price and how to buy

The retail price for the Air Max 95 OG in “White and Black” is listed at R3,699.95.

South African buyers looking to purchase the shoe through Nike’s online platforms should keep a few key points in mind.

Although Nike products are not directly shipped from a local Nike South Africa warehouse, customers can order from international Nike sites. However, this comes with additional costs that must be carefully considered during checkout.

Actual cost of buying Air Max 95 OG ‘White and Black’ in South Africa

When ordering from Nike’s international store, shipping fees generally range between R500 and R1,000, depending on the selected delivery method.

On top of that, import duties and taxes — which include customs charges and VAT — typically add 30% to 40% to the original purchase price.

For example, a sneaker priced at R3,699.95 might end up costing between R4,800 and R5,300 once shipping and import costs are factored in.

It’s essential for shoppers to budget accordingly to avoid any unexpected charges during the customs clearance process.

Nike SNKRS and international orders are charged in foreign currency. Buyers must ensure their payment cards are enabled for international transactions.

Additional foreign exchange fees may also apply, depending on the bank.
