NIKE AIR MAX 95 is one of the most iconic and sought after sneakers of all time. Twenty years on from ITS original launch, the ‘Air Max 95 Collectables’ marks the re-release of this all-time favourite shoe with a throwback to 1995 in Hong Kong. Tapping into the mid-90’s craze of collecting exclusive trading cards and limited edition sneakers, local artists created a specially designed series of collectable cards showcasing the AIR MAX 95 range, inspired by this buzzing city through the years, making these sneakers more collectable than ever before. The collection also includes a number of limited edition holographic cards, which allow holders to gain exclusive access to limited edition AIR MAX 95s, and the ultra rare metallic NIKE iD card gives lucky winners the chance to customise their very own pair of AIR MAX 95. Just like in 1995, the cards are available from the original vending machines BUT refurbished, to take Air Max 95 fans back in time to mark its 20th anniversary.

Each card was illustrated by local artists reflecting Hong Kong back in 1995 and 2015. Each innovative feature of the sneaker integrated with the city's environment.
The artists were inspired by different parts of Hong Kong's culture: Architecture, technology, food, entertainment, digital, music, art, transportation and gaming.
The cards were available from the original 90's vending machines, refurbished, in store.
Just like the old days, coins were put in to activate the machine.
After that, people turned the knob to claim their card.
