The Nike Air Max 97 'Metallic Silver Chlorine Blue' (2022) revisits the iconic silhouette that revolutionized sneaker design in the late '90s, this time with a sleek, refreshed palette anchored in performance heritage and modern appeal. First introduced in 1997 and inspired by Japan’s bullet trains, the Air Max 97’s signature wavy overlays and full-length visible Air unit return with a vibrant pop of contemporary energy in this colorway.
Overview
