Designed to boost style without compromising comfort and support, the Air Max 97 remains one of Nike’s most popular models. And with good reason.

This iteration utilizes the same Metallic Silver as the OG and the updated 2017 versions for the mesh underlays. This comes contrasted by stark Black for the sockliner, tongue and heel pull tabs, and rubber outsole below.

3M Reflective Tech Nike Air Max 97

3M reflective tech pops in the forefoot overlays. Meanwhile, vibrant Violet accents the lining on the pull tabs, forming the Nike swooshes on the tongue and quarter panels and Black insoles. Likewise, Violet looks stunning on the full-length Total Max White midsole and in sections of the Black and White outsole.
