Gold Branding Rounds Out This Nike Air Max 97 “Black/Royal”

Gold Branding Rounds Out This Nike Air Max 97 “Black/Royal”

Despite celebrating its 25th anniversary last year, the Nike Air Max 97 continues to demand the spotlight.

Ahead of spring, the revolutionary design by Christian Tresser appeared in a new black, royal blue, and gold color combination. Base layers feature a rich blue hue, while panels covering them exchange the animated tone with pitch-dark finishes. A metallic touch, then, is isolated to swoosh branding on the top of the tongue and mid-foot, as well as the pull tab at the spine.

Underfoot, the game-changing cushioning solution maintains a relatively muted arrangement. Foam and rubber components favor a black look that complements much of the upper, while the big Air Max bubble switches up with a light grey makeover.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a nike.com launch before summer.

In related sneaker news, the Air Jordan 2023 lineup has something for everyone.
