The Nike Air Max 97 celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. Although the model re-released in heritage styles to honor the occasion, it’s also launched in compelling new looks.
Recently, a pair in Grade School sizing surfaced donning a black, red, and white color scheme. Textured mudguards opt for ruby-colored flair, while the vamp overlays above deviate in stark black contrast. Supporting components across the upper – including swoosh logos at the sides – introduce a grey tone into the mix. Underfoot, sole units opt for a clean white midsole that offsets the red-colored Air Max bubble. Outsoles round out the kid’s offering in black, a nod to Nike’s earliest performance running designs.
Enjoy official photos of the pair ahead, as you wait for a nike.com launch.
