The Air Max 97 is Available in a New Halloween Scheme

As the trees shed their leaves and a crisp chill permeates the air, Nike unveils a treat that will become a Halloween sneakerhead favorite: a hauntingly stylish iteration of the Air Max 97.

The design approach is beautifully subtle and reminiscent of the darkest Halloween night. The silhouette, reverting to basics, dons an almost entirely inky-black hue, reminiscent of a shadowy evening. But it’s in the small details where the true spirit of Halloween comes alive. Subtle grey tints drape the mid-panel mesh, reflective overlays, and laces, weaving a web of ghostly moonlight across the dark expanse of the shoe.

Yet, like the flicker of a jack-o'-lantern on a porch, vibrant pops of pumpkin orange invigorate the design. The rich orange highlights, positioned on the medial overlay and the iconic Swoosh branding, starkly contrast the shoe's muted tones. These orange accents whisper tales of Halloween mischief and midnight adventures. Completing the spectral design is the blackout sole unit, grounding the shoe with ethereal darkness that will resonate with October enthusiasts.
