Michael Le Nike is constantly commemorating a number of anniversaries concurrently, with the Air Force 1’s 40th taking the helm for the better part of 2022. And contrary to what its lack of notable collaborations and releases may suggest, the Air Max 97, too, is celebrating a birthday of its own — its 25th, to be exact. Thankfully, as we head into the last half of the year, the brand is finally pulling out the stops for the Christian Tresser design, as they’re ushering back in the ever-iconic “Silver Bullet” colorway.
Last released in 2017, the “Silver Bullet” draws inspiration from Japan’s innovative bullet trains. In homage, the silhouette sports a Silver Metallic finish through much of its construction, from the mesh inserts to the leather paneling all throughout. In addition, reflective strips are tucked amidst the side’s many layers, brightening up the palette in tandem with the pops of “Varsity Red” that mark every exterior Swoosh and the detailing along the outsole.
For a closer look at the 2022 Air Max 97 “Silver Bullet,” check out the official images added below. These are tentatively set to release on November 11th at a retail of $180 USD, likely hitting Nike SNKRS as well as select retailers.
In other news, Awake NY GEL-LYTE IIIs are coming very soon.
