Original Story (05/12/25): Seoul-based retailer WORKSOUT has an Air Max 95 collaboration with Nike on the way.
Dubbed the Air Max 95 “Uniform,” this collab draws inspiration from the military-style uniforms worn by the five WORKSOUT founders when they attended high school in South Korea. Uppers come dressed in olive tones and feature a lenticular finish that reveals a camo-like pattern when viewed from different angles. Additional details include mesh tongues with WORKSOUT branding on the labels, a modified lacing system, rough-textured heel panels, and a black sole unit with big bubble tooling.
The most striking feature, however, is the oversized Swoosh on the lateral side panels, a bold design detail that sets this pair apart from other AM95s. As an added touch, the insoles are printed with Korean text that translates to “Always aspire to be indispensable where you are,” a message that also appears above the entrance of Seoul High School.
The collaboration was first teased by WORKSOUT earlier this year by bringing back their website for Southfoot, the online-only shop from the early 2000s that predates the opening of their first physical store. The Air Max 95 “Uniform” is listed on the site, though the image is blurred out, building anticipation ahead of the official reveal.
The WORKSOUT x Nike Air Max 95 “Uniform” is extremely limited, with only 3,000 pairs releasing to the public. They’ll be available later this month on SNKRS and at select retailers. Grab an early look below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for more.
Update (05/14/25): In addition to the olive colorway, WORKSOUT is also dropping a black iteration of its Nike Air Max 95 collab. This version is even more limited, releasing exclusively at the WORKSOUT store in Seoul and on SNKRS in South Korea. Scroll down for a first look.
Update (05/22/25): Both colorways of the WORKSOUT x Nike Air Max 95 OG drops May 31st at WORKSOUT and on SNKRS Korea, followed by a global release of the “Sequoia” colorway on June 5th via SNKRS. Check out the classroom-themed campaign below.
