Jovani Hernandez As the Nike Air Max 97 continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary, the silhouette keeps on experimenting with the “Terrascape” design approach.
Rooted in both trail-ready footwear heritage and sustainability, the Terrascape-variant of Christian Tresser’s iconic creation from 1997 rearranges and reworks the upper and sole unit for a proposition that’s simultaneously familiar and refreshing. Reinforced materials throughout the upper deliver improved protection against the elements than a standard version of the revolutionary Air Max, with the two most upper vamp overlays introducing a “Light Glow Green” hue to the otherwise “White” option. Midsole components sitting just above full-length, visible Air units boast Nike Grind construction, which up-cycles manufacturing floor scraps and don a grey and multi-colored aesthetic. Lastly, the updated Air Max 97 features “colorless” waffle-patterned traction.
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike SNKRS launch soon.
