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.
