After surfacing in several light tonal colorways over the last few weeks, Nike’s storied Air Max 97 has now arrived in a bright mustard yellow—a surprising switch of sorts as the Swoosh Brand has seemingly been trending towards a more minimalist approach when it comes to color palettes for the bullet train-inspired runner. Offering a bright and bold look perfect for summer or fall, this new “Mustard” 97 features an intense yellow on the mudguard and plunging upper panels. Tonal contrast is provided by a slightly lighter yellow on the mesh underlays and tongue, and a white midsole breaks up the upper’s mix of yellow tones. The shoe is then completed by a yellow Air Max unit and a black outsole. Expect these bright new kicks to arrive on Nike.com in the coming weeks for $160 USD, and be sure to check out our Sneaker Release Dates page for all the updates you need on other upcoming fall releases.
