From the track and field events to the medal stand ceremonies, Nike made sure that its electric “Volt” tone was the color of the Olympics, the super bright yellow green mixture becoming instantly recognizable after London 2012. And while the 30th Olympiad saw mostly new-era runners equipped with the color, that’s not to say that retro pairs can’t enjoy it as well. Case in point is the Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse shown here (not to be confused with the quite similar CVS version) which puts on about as much color as the model possibly can in tune with the other singly blocked pairs. Continue reading for more of the volt Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse and stay with Sneaker News to find out when they arrive stateside.

The push for Engineered Mesh continues from the Air Max 1 to the Air Max 97, as we get a preview of this Spring 2013 release in the original ‘Silver Bullet’ colorway. As you can see, the Mesh is distinct from that seen on the Air Max 1; the AM1 EM featured a combination of jersey-mesh and diamond-mesh, but the 97 uses a unique knit-like material on the lower-most ‘track’ of the upper (remember, the Air Max 97 was designed with a running track in mind!). More of the Nike Air Max 97 Engineered Mesh below, so take a look and we’ll keep you up to date with more NSW EM releases for Spring 2013. Photos: TSG

NIKE PACK WEEK
Finishing off this week of bundles of Nike footwear here in Classics Revisited tied together by a distinct theme is the trio of Air Max releases from 2006 called the ‘Kashima Antlers’ Pack. This unique set was a tribute to the Kashima Antlers professional football club in Japan – the most successful club in the history of the Japan League Division 1 since its inception in 1993, but the origin of the Antlers club dates back to 1947. The Nike ‘Kashima Antlers’ Pack featured three significant models; the Air Max 95 and the Air Max 97, both of which are widely popular in Japan, and the Air Max 360, which debuted in late January of 2006. Of the three colorways, only the Air Max 360 is designed with the Kashima Antlers kit colors in mind (White, Black, and Red), but all three compositions capture a singular theme that were widely popular when the Kashima Antlers Pack was launched globally in late February.
The Air Max 95 features the pristine Gold and Royal colorway, using the Beige color as an accent on the upper mesh (Beige is on the official Kashima Antlers club crest). The Air Max 360 featured the widely popular laser detailing on the upper with Kashima Antlers FC written in Japanese on the tongue. The most popular and coveted of the entire Pack is the Air Max 97, which boasted the much-beloved elephant print on the upper with a teal-colored Max Air unit. The ’97 also featured Kashima Antlers branding on the tongue as well as on the heel pull-tab. Included in this special edition release was a custom tissue paper that lined the box as well as an envelope containing mini postcards of the world’s most significant football clubs – Man U. and Boca Jr’s to name a couple. Check out a gallery of all three from the ‘Kashima Antlers’ Pack below, and let us know if you’ve got any of these in your Air Max collection!

If you haven’t noticed it yet folks, we are in the age of Hyperfuse. The seamless construction seems to be putting its hands on just about everything that it can, not content with merely outfitting the new generation but also focused on pulling well established classics into the wave as well. One such classic is the Nike Air Max 97, done up in dynamic blue to match the summer skies. Click through with us to see all the angles and let us know in the comments below if you think the Hyperfuse business should stick to the new stuff or you like seeing older models updated with the look.

If you haven’t yet noticed, the summer time is set to provide an abundance of brightly blocked monochrome Air Max releases. This quick trio of Nike Air Max 1′s is kicking it off with the original 1987 model, with the above offering being a bit of a fast forward to the Nike Air Max 97 of 10 years later. Actually we need to jump up even further on the timeline as the pair is of the Hyperfuse variety. Continue reading for a more complete look at the Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse in the brilliantly bright total orange and get in touch with the good folks at Oneness now to secure your pair.

Nike Sportswear trotted out a series of Hyperfuse-constructed classics last summer, and perhaps the single model most conspicuous by its absence was the Air Max 97. A swooping synthetic-based runner whose design was so far ahead of its time they still look totally fresh, the Ninety-Sevens are probably the most technical of all the Air Max running classics and represent the smoothest transition yet into Fuse-ing. The Nike Air Max 97 Hyperfuse pictured above in Dynamic Blue looks like it could have dropped in 2010′s ‘Air Attack Pack’ as well as resembling the recent ‘Soar’ CVS 97s, connections that continue to reinforce how (literally) seamlessly this silo has slid into a new fabrication method. Check out additional images after the jump and get ready for these to drop in July at shops like Titolo, who are taking pre-orders now.

The original Air Max 97 design was entirely cast in synthetics, the first such departure from traditional leathers and suedes after models like the Air Max 1, 90 and 95 came equipped with those old school defaults. That means it’s closer to today’s Hyperfuse hybrids without warranting an upgrade, and this unique position has the AM97 poised for a victory lap in a decidedly casual form. The Nike Air Max 97 CVS gets back to the roots of athletic shoe manufacturing with a simple single-colored canvas upper contrasted by a white sole, but the nearly no-sew heat-bonded construction and that sole’s full-length Max Air cushion leave these feeling modern and technically proficient. Check out the Soar and Volt editions in greater detail after the jump and expect them in stores soon with the Sport Red edition having already arrived to US Nike Sportswear retailers.

Approaching the fifteenth birthday for its original colorway in July, Nike Sportswear has just trotted out the latest variation on a former flagship runner whose sleek style can be seen as a precursor to today’s synthetic-heavy Air Max runners. And yet, the Nike Air Max 97 CVS looks equally impressive in its own right, a canvas-uppered take on a model most famous for its ‘Silver Bullet’ and ‘Gold Medal’ OGs that’s managed to perfectly match today’s trends with a Volt upper/white sole design that has a match in the also-anniversary-approaching Air Max 1, which just hit NSW stores in a Cyber twill getup. Which bright yellow canvas classic runner turned out best this season? Let us know as you click through to get a better view of the ‘Volt’ Air Max 97 CVS and stick with Sneaker News for release info.
