In March 2026, Louis Theroux, Kasst 8, Angry Ginge, and The Bov Boys were all featured in a JD Sports Campaign, showcasing the enduring appeal of the shoe. Furthermore, the Air Max 95's presence in hip-hop culture is undeniable. Figures like Ghost Face Killer and Jay-Z, during the 1990s, embraced the shoe, contributing to its iconic status.
