Denim on sneakers is always a contentious talking point; Some love the textile over their toes, while others despise it, citing that denim belongs above the ankle. Even denim brands themselves have limited the use of the textile in recent collaborations. But this next-up Air Max 97 “Denim” goes all-out on the textile, decking out the drop from toe to tail in black denim.
Thile tattered tongues and overlays arrive the right side up, uppers and mudguards opt for the inverse side of the fabrication for a light grey contrasting effect. Midpanels arrive in a clean piece complete with bright red Checks, with further flashes of the crimson color coming at the tongue and outsole detail. The latter arrives at the toe and tail of an icy-translucent rubber, with its residing Air supports and midsoles above option for an ominous jet black. Completing the design is unique embroidered detail in the rear and special-edition insoles inside.
Grab an official look at the Air Max 97 “Denim” here below, and expect these to hit Nike.com and select retailers in the coming weeks.
