Recently reintroduced by-way-of a two-piece corduroy packthat was a sure stitch-up to one-time collaborator Sean Wotherspoon, the Air Max 97 returns to the Swoosh’s release schedule with a somewhat more traditional take. While the colors and blocking arrive a little more adventurous than tradition stipulates, the material makeup for this colorful crep remains stock-standard. The go-to knitted uppers, 3M-reflective waves, and leather overlays all arrive on cue — but what makes this pair stand out is its unique use of color. Vibrant purple uppers and flashes of neons turn this predominately black sneaker from basic to bold. Underfoot you’ll find a classic white midsole/black outsole combo — the latter streaked with more hits purple — and a bold golden yellow Air support system completes the design.
Take a peep at the pair in detail below, which is now available at a handful of retailers listed below for $160.
