This Nike Air Max 97 Is Tinted In Light Blue

It’s been a quiet last few weeks on the Air Max 97 front, with Nike Sportswear seemingly focusing more of their attention on other models like the React Element 87 and the Air Max Deluxe. However, the Christian Tresser-designed, bullet train-inspired classic is never far from the forefront of NSW—and it’s now surfaced in a tinted light blue perfect for the dog days of summer. The shoe’s upper features a combination of the aforementioned light blue and a stark white: the former arrives in mesh on the shoe’s underlays, while the latter adorns the swooping stripes, mudguard, and throat, making for a breezy and carefree look. The summer-ready shoe is then completed with a white midsole, clear Air Max unit, and simple white outsole. Look for these clean new 97s to release on Nike.com in the coming weeks, retailing for the AM97’s standard price of $160 USD.
