Nike drops the Women’s Air Max 95 ‘Pink Foam’

Inspired by the human body, the Air Max 95’s upper consists of layered synthetic leather and mesh that mimics the flow of muscle fibres. In the ‘Pink Foam’ colourway, these layers transition from black to white, creating a smooth gradient effect.

Accents of soft pink appear on the lace loops, Nike branding, and visible Air units, adding contrast and flair to the otherwise neutral design.

Nike explains, “Put a little more Air down there, and enjoy your Air Max journey,” referring to the exaggerated Air bubbles featured in both the heel and forefoot. These oversized Air units are not only visually striking but also improve comfort and support, making the sneaker ideal for everyday wear.

Priced at R3,699.95, the Pink Foam Air Max 95 is currently available on Nike SNKRS, Nike’s official sneaker release platform.

Buying in South Africa: What you need to know

South African sneaker fans looking to grab the ‘Pink Foam’ from SNKRS should prepare for extra costs associated with international purchases.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

  • Shipping Fees: Nike charges between R500 and R1,000 for international delivery, depending on your chosen method.
  • Import Duties: Expect an additional 30% to 40% in customs charges, as footwear imports are subject to South African tax regulations.
  • Estimated Total Cost: While the listed price is R3,699.95, your final payment after duties and shipping could push the cost closer to R5,000 or more.
  • Payment Tips: Purchases through SNKRS are processed internationally. Make sure your debit or credit card allows foreign transactions. You may also be charged a small foreign exchange fee by your bank.

This release is part of a broader series of limited-edition Nike drops expected in May 2025.
