Released in March 2018, this Air Max 97 comes in a mesh-and-leather upper in 'Anthracite' grey on top of a white midsole, providing minimalist appeal and old-school athletic contrast. Developed by Nike designer Christian Tresser, the Air Max 97 was inspired by ripples of water in a pond, thus its distinctive wavy lines and fluid, streamlined shape. Underfoot, the soft Max Air unit cushions and absorbs the repeated foot strikes of running, and the rubber outsole lugs deliver reliable traction.
