An argument can certainly be made that Nike’s Air Max 97 silhouette is one of the most popular sneakers in the industry right now. Each month, the Swoosh brand releases a number of intriguing in-line colorways that accent the sleek high-speed Bullet Train-inspired silhouette, popularizing the model amongst fans both new and old. Hugh profile collaborations the likes of Virgil Abloh’s recent Off-White 97 designed for Serena Williams will continue to keep the mid-90s runner in the spotlight. With its immense momentum in mind, Nike is ready to drop another attractive GR version of the NSW staple that sees it dressed in a striking combination of Midnight Navy and Habanero Red.
Utilizing the darker blue shade as its anchor taking up the most room on its upper, bright red comes into play on its midfoot and tongue branding, as well as its instep. A white midsole, racing stripe, and lace unit provide a nice touch of contrast, while a hit of gold inside its Air unit and around the outside of its heel loop provide the selection with a slight regal touch. An official release date for this brand new Air Max 97 has not been scheduled yet, but grab an official look below and look forward to its arrival on Nike.com next month.
