The LEGO Editions 43025 Nike Air Max 95 is a licensed brick model of Nike’s 1995 running shoe, made by LEGO. It’s on sale now in Taiwan for TWD 3,499 (appx. $109 USD). It’s a sneaker you build from the inside out. That’s the whole pitch, and I like it.
LEGO Editions 43025 Nike Air Max 95 is a 1,213-piece display set produced by LEGO under license from Nike. It is currently on sale with a suggested price of TWD 3,499 (appx. $109 USD). The finished model measures about 28 cm (appx. 11 in) long and includes a display base, an AiR sign and one minifigure.
A Box That Dresses Like a Sneaker Box
LEGO usually sells its adult sets on moody black packaging. Here it’s bright orange, with Nike and LEGO logos sharing the front and a stud texture in the lower corner. The top of the box carries a 1:1 line drawing of the minifigure and the AiR lettering. Odd choice. It works.
The AiR Sign Steals Some Thunder
The bubble letters are built from curved slopes and quarter-round pieces, mostly in translucent parts. You end up with soft, inflated letterforms from parts that are hard and square. That’s the right joke for a shoe whose whole identity is visible air. Honestly, the sign might be the better sculpture.
Building the Shoe From the Inside Out
The build starts with the base and its hidden drawer across bags one to four, then moves into the shoe. Neon yellow pieces sit behind a clear curved element to form the visible air units, and neon yellow is rare in LEGO’s palette. The layered upper uses flat and angled plates in black and light graphite gray, echoing the original’s gradient side panels inspired by muscle and rib structure. Bricks can’t fade one gray into another the way Sergio Lozano’s mesh did in 1995, so the designers stack tones in steps instead.
Printed Where It Counts
The oval airmax tongue tag is a printed clip-on piece, not a sticker. Compared with Bandai’s Perfect Grade kits, where every visible marking gets molded detail, LEGO spends its printing budget sparingly and here it chose well. Turning the shoe pulls out the base drawer. It holds spare parts and minifigure heads, though not much else.
The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: The Air Max 95 is a running shoe, and every running shoe I’ve ever bought retired with zero miles on it. This one costs about $109, runs zero miles too and comes with its own display base. It’s the first running shoe I’ve ever used as intended.
How to tell your wife: Nike’s entire philosophy is three words long, and I’ve always admired a company that doesn’t overthink things. I saw the Air Max 95 rebuilt in LEGO, and I didn’t overthink it either. I just did it.
How to tell your parents: You always told me to learn a real trade, something people will always need. Well, I just built a Nike Air Max 95 from the inside out, all 1,213 pieces of it. Your son is a cobbler now.
How to tell your kids: Those AiR letters on the shelf are bubble letters, and you know exactly what happens when you touch a bubble. You can look at them from the couch for as long as you like. One poke, and pop.
Final Thoughts
The smartest thing in 43025 is that clear AiR sign, because it admits what the shoe can’t say alone: Nike’s real product was always the idea of air. At TWD 3,499 for a 28 cm display piece with a working drawer, it earns its spot more easily than LEGO’s pricier sneaker-adjacent sets, especially for anyone who remembers 1995.
