Nike Air Max 95 OG | Triple Black Dark Concord | IH1228-001

The Original. In the Dark.

The Nike Air Max 95 OG (IH1228-001) in Triple Black/Dark Concord is the most atmospheric and most sophisticated colorway in the current Air Max 95 lineup — a shoe that takes Sergio Lozano’s revolutionary 1995 anatomy-inspired design and renders it in a complete, unbroken black palette punctuated by a single, precise Dark Concord purple accent at the collar. The Triple Black colorway’s most significant achievement is what it reveals about the AM95’s design: without color contrast to guide the eye, the shoe’s layered overlay system, rib-like eyelet arrangement, and spine-referencing midsole plate become the primary visual elements — the design’s structural complexity visible only through the subtle interplay of matte and gloss black surfaces, light and shadow, and the graduated tonal variation between the overlapping leather panels. The Dark Concord purple collar accent — visible only at the shoe’s entry point — is the colorway’s single moment of color, a deliberate restraint that makes the purple’s appearance feel like a discovery rather than a declaration. The IH prefix marks this as part of Nike’s 2024–2025 Air Max 95 OG reissue program, produced to original construction specifications.

Product Highlights

• 🎨 Colorway: Black Mesh Upper × Black/Dark Charcoal Multi-Layer Leather Overlays × Dark Concord Purple Collar Accent × Black Laces × Black/Dark Concord Dual Air Units × Black Midsole × Black Outsole — the most atmospheric and most sophisticated Air Max 95 OG colorway
• ⚫ Triple Black Tonal Palette: A complete, unbroken black palette from upper to outsole — the most minimal and most design-forward approach to the AM95’s complex overlay system. In the Triple Black colorway, the shoe’s structural complexity is revealed through material contrast rather than color contrast: the black mesh upper’s matte, open-weave texture against the leather overlays’ smooth, semi-gloss surface; the overlays’ graduated tonal variation from deep charcoal at the toe to near-black at the heel; and the midsole’s flat black surface against the Air unit’s translucent shell. The result is a shoe that rewards close inspection — a colorway that reveals more the longer you look at it
• 💜 Dark Concord Purple Collar Accent: The colorway’s single moment of color — a Dark Concord purple accent at the collar lining, visible only when the shoe is worn or when the collar is examined closely. The Dark Concord purple’s deep, cool tone is the ideal complement to the Triple Black palette — dark enough to maintain the colorway’s overall black aesthetic, vivid enough to provide a precise color accent that rewards attention. The purple collar accent is also visible at the heel Air unit, where the Dark Concord color appears through the translucent midsole window, creating a visual connection between the upper’s accent detail and the shoe’s cushioning system
• 🦴 Human Anatomy Design Language: The Air Max 95’s defining design concept — Sergio Lozano’s revolutionary 1995 design that drew direct inspiration from the human body. The multi-layer leather overlays reference muscle tissue. The lace eyelet system references the human ribcage. The midsole support plate references the human spine. In the Triple Black colorway, these anatomical references are most visible as structural elements rather than color elements — the design’s human-body inspiration revealed through form alone
• 🔵 Dual Air Unit System — Forefoot & Heel: The Air Max 95’s revolutionary cushioning system — the first Nike shoe to feature visible Air cushioning in the forefoot as well as the heel. Both Air units are visible through transparent windows in the black midsole, with the Dark Concord purple color visible through the translucent heel Air unit shell — the colorway’s purple accent appearing at both the collar and the heel Air unit for a cohesive, considered color story. Each Air unit’s pressure is marked on the midsole — a technical detail that reflects the AM95’s engineering-forward design philosophy
• 🏷️ 2024–2025 OG Reissue: The IH prefix marks this as part of Nike’s 2024–2025 Air Max 95 OG reissue program — produced to original 1995 construction specifications, with the same materials, proportions, and design details as the original release. The OG designation confirms this is a faithful recreation rather than a modernized update
• 🤝 Men’s Sizing: Available in US sizes 7 – 14 (including half sizes) — a men’s-forward sizing range
• 🏷️ Style Code: IH1228-001

Triple Black AM95 vs Wolf Grey/Orange AM95

The Air Max 95 OG is available at Two Trees in two colorways that represent opposite ends of the AM95’s design spectrum. The Wolf Grey/Orange (609048-181) uses color contrast to highlight the AM95’s anatomy-inspired design — the grey gradient overlays, orange lace eyelets, and orange Air units making each design element visible and distinct. The Triple Black/Dark Concord (IH1228-001) uses tonal restraint to reveal the AM95’s structural complexity — the all-black palette making the shoe’s layered construction visible only through material and tonal variation. Both are OG constructions; the choice between them is a choice between color storytelling and structural storytelling.

The Air Max 95 Story

The Nike Air Max 95 debuted in 1995, designed by Sergio Lozano as a radical departure from every Air Max that preceded it — drawing inspiration from the human body rather than from athletic performance, and introducing visible forefoot Air cushioning for the first time in Nike history. The AM95’s layered overlay system, rib-like eyelet arrangement, spine-referencing midsole plate, and dual Air unit system made it the most technically ambitious and most visually complex Air Max ever made at the time of its release.
