Description
This "Black Neon" variant is drawing inevitable comparisons to the iconic "OG Neon" colorway, essentially serving as a 'dark mode' rendition with a reversed gradient on the sidewalls. Some enthusiasts may also recognize parallels with the mita x Nike Air Max 95 "Ueno Prototype" from 2013, as both feature a black tongue and neon detailing—a rare combination in the AM95 lineup.
Notably, these come at a significantly lower cost, almost one-tenth of the resale price of the mita release, making them a more budget-friendly option. Embracing the darker theme, the netting, toe guard, and laces undergo a subtle transformation, accentuating the vibrant lace loops more than the OG version. Despite the changes, the midsole and branding accents maintain consistency, and the spine is coated in a darker shade of 3M for a cohesive update.
