The Nike Air Max 97 is a shoe that’s always trended heavily towards the sporty side of the design spectrum. With re-releases of OG colorways like the “Silver Bullet” and “Metallic Gold” plus new takes that feature color combos like black/neon green or white/creamsicle orange, it’s grown to become one of Nike’s most recognizable — and loved — silhouettes. However, speedy and sporty isn’t always what every sneakerhead wants — and that’s where colorways like this fresh new “Baroque Brown” come in. Utilizing a rich brown mesh for the base and a grey synthetic for the bullet-train style overlays, the shoe presents an interesting look: one that’s simultaneously retro (via the corduroy-style texture on the tongue) and modern (an Air Max logo hit adorns the cushioning unit) at the same time.
