Currently in its 26th year, the Nike Air Max 97 continues to play an important part in the Swoosh’s legacy.

Recently, the speed bullet-inspired silhouette emerged in a “White” and “Metallic Silver” color scheme. The bulk of the sneaker takes on a “colorless” look that allows for the slightest of contrast to revel in the spotlight. A lone vamp overlay features a spotted makeover don in a reflective finish; the same detailing land on the lower mid-foot panel donning swoosh logos. Underfoot, the revolutionary Air Max unit keeps things on-theme with an off white finish that complements the remainder of the shoe well.

Enjoy official photos of the pair ahead, and anticipate a nike.com launch before 2023 ends.
