There are many design elements to Christian Tresser’s Nike Air Max 97 creation, but the ones that stand out the most are the inspirations provided by the speedy bullet trains of Japan and the uniform lines of a running track. Blended together, those points of interest have become the primary identity of this running shoe that has since been one of the most recognizable sneakers in history. Nike’s about to deliver a speedier look as this new Ultra offering features even more sleek lines that fully encircle the shoe on the mudguard area. Release information for this lightweight Air Max 97 option haven’t been revealed, but we presume these will drop before year’s end.
