Amidst its 30th anniversary, a steady stream of propositions culminated in the return of the widely-regarded “Silver Bullet” Nike Air Max 97. Since its seldom return to past outfits and color blocking, titular tonal placement has run rampant across Christian Tresser’s design, now opting for a dark, gloomy aesthetic akin to the suit of LEGO Batman.

The pitch-dark scheme of Will Arnett’s voiced Dark Knight mirrors a near-clad jet-black upper on the pair, coating its mesh upper, tongue construction, sole unit and surrounding cracked leather overlays in the consuming colorless hue. Color-matched at its nylon sock liner and adjacent pull tabs, the first instigation of Batman’s silver detailing extends to the base layer of the tongues tab in tandem with a miniature Swoosh placed at the forefoot. Bringing the brightly toned bat symbol to life via vibrant yellow midfoot and tongue Swooshes, the entirety of the see-through Air Max tooling underfoot indulges in the luminous offering while the heel’s pull tab reads “AIR” in yellow and “MAX” in grey.
