Nike is set to release two upcoming Air Max 95s to celebrate Marine Day, also known as Ocean Day or Sea Day. The special day which is a Japanese national holiday is celebrated on the third Monday in July. The purpose of the holiday is to give thanks to the ocean’s bounty and to consider the importance of the ocean to Japan as an island nation.
One comes dressed in University Red/White with Volt accents, and the other in Midnight Navy/White with Pink accents. Aside from its marine borders, there is no special branding placement of any sort seen throughout each shoe.
You can expect the Nike Air Max 95 ‘Marine Day’ Pack to release at select retailers and online at Nike.com in Japan on July 14th.

It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
