Aesthetically simple yet sustainably made, Nike’s “Next Nature” collection gives the brand and its audience some much-needed room to breathe. The same holds true as the Air Max 97 joins the pack, its bullet train inspired design stripped down to an all-white colorway.
Unlike the black-dominant offerings prior, the Air Max 97 opts for a look far more clean. The bright neutral is used all throughout the construction, spread across mesh, leather, and the like with little variance. But along the piping, which runs from one end of the shoe to the other, the pair makes use of “Sail,” subtly highlighting every fixture treated with a reflective finish.
For a closer look both with the lights off and on, see below. A release should hit a number of select retailers and Nike.com soon.
