The Nike Air Max 97 has had a huge month of August thus far with over 13+ releases either available or coming in the near future. Nike is celebrating the model’s 20th-anniversary celebration in style with an updated, more modern and lightweight version known as the Air Max 97 Ultra. If you’re familiar with Nike’s retro releases over the past couple of years, the Ultra tooling adds either Jacquard or knit textures while streamlining the overall silhouette with a lighter outsole in the form of classic runners like the Ultra Moire. 2 new colorways will be available next week on August 17th.
The Air Max 97 Ultra Triple Black released at a few retailers last week earlier than expected, but more stores will be stocking the pair (featuring full reflective 3M waves now confirmed based on this photo set). Then there’s a women’s exclusive Nike Air Max 97 Ultra “Ivory” featuring an autumn ready tonal theme with Cargo Khaki contrasting on the lining, small Swoosh branding, and outsole.
