There’s arguably no Air Max silhouette more widely beloved than the Air Max 97. The Christian Tresser-designed, bullet-train inspired running masterpiece has been a focal point of Nike’s lifestyle release efforts over the past few years, and shows no signs of slowing down in 2019 thanks to new-but-inherently-familiar colorways like this grey makeup. The mudugard, layered upper panels, and tongue are dressed in a toned-down steel grey, while the underlays and swooping reflective stripes feature a bold silver for an interesting sandwiched tonal design. The striking and speedy kicks are then completed with a white midsole and grey Air Max cushioning unit. The first of many Air Max 97s we’re sure to see in 2019, this new colorway will release on Nike.com in the coming weeks, so enjoy a full set of images below and be sure to keep it locked to our Sneaker Release Dates page for all your Air Max drop updates.
