As a year-round favorite of sneakerheads and casual wearers alike, the Air Max 97 has a firm place in Nike’s lineup of releases every season. Designer Christian Tresser’s masterful creation was inspired by high-speed bullet trains, and boasts an instantly recognizable shape. 20-plus years after its original release, the Air Max 97 is still as popular as ever — and now it’s dropped in a retro “Miami Vice”-style color combination that calls upon colors both simple and eye-catching. A dark black serves as the upper’s base color, while the statements are made by the accents: neon pinks and blues appear on the midfoot/tongue branding, sockliner, insole, and outsole. A white midsole provides contrast with the dark upper, and a black Air Max unit completes the look. An interesting take on a popular color scheme, these classic runners-turned-casual-shoes are available now at Nike.com, and retail for $180 USD.
