We’re only four months into the year, and the Swoosh have already been going all out with the 30th birthday celebrations, having loaded up a Big Bubble ‘’ retro, the ‘’ iteration and a . However, the party is showing no signs of stopping as more classic colourways are ready to return, including the 2011 ‘Bright Mandarin’, which will touch down sometime in the next few months.

Arriving with a juicy Big Bubble underfoot, the 2025 AM95 ‘Bright Mandarin’ keeps the same colour blocking as the 2011 version, which was initially inspired by the gradient makeup seen on the OG colourways of the Sergio Lozano silhouette. Therefore, we can see shades of grey work their way up the layered sidewalls, while the titular hue hits the eyestays, Swooshes and Air Units.

While the ‘Bright Mandarin’ AM95 has previously been spotted in infants and kids sizing, so far it's clear that only the adult version will come with the oversized Air Window. There’s no word on a confirmed release date yet, but stay locked to Sneaker Freaker as more info comes in!
