Kith and Nike are widening the Air Max 95 BB “NYC” from a kids-only release into full adult sizing, which is the news plenty of people who missed the first drop were waiting on. The shoe originally arrived in December 2025 in children’s sizes exclusively, an unusual move for a collaboration this visible, and the adult run finally opens it up to everyone else.
The Air Max 95 BB is the basketball-minded take on one of Nike’s most recognizable runners. The standard Air Max 95 debuted in 1995 with its segmented, layered upper and visible Air cushioning, a design that still reads as distinctly nineties in the best way. The BB reworks that language for the court, which makes the “NYC” treatment more than a colorway exercise. It is a performance silhouette carrying a city’s name.
That name is the point. Kith is a Brooklyn brand before it is anything else, and its relationship with New York sneaker culture runs deeper than most collaborators can claim. A “NYC” colorway on an Air Max is Kith operating on home turf, and the adult expansion lets the brand’s core audience actually wear it rather than admire it on a kids’ shelf.
For the buyer, the calculus is simple. If you liked the kids’ version or came up empty on release day, the adult sizing is your shot. This continues a long, productive run between Kith and Nike, one built on collaborations that pair real performance platforms with boutique detailing rather than logos on a takedown. Expect the usual Kith rollout, limited quantities through Kith channels and Nike’s own. We will add pricing and exact timing here once confirmed. In the meantime, see our latest Nike coverage.
