Though it has officially closed the chapter on its 25th-anniversary celebration, the Nike Air Max 97 still has a few straggling releases to complete the novel. The newest to appear is one perfect fit for the current climate, given its jet-black twill, brown suede, and heavily-tumbled stone grey leathers that scream Fall/Winter wear.
Ditching a traditional mesh upper, this release looks to heavy-duty cotton twill for its base, with tonal black reflective overlays and sock liners to match. The pair is livened up in the middle, with a peep of light tan suede and thick — almost elephant skin-like — leather mudguards. All of this rests atop a sail-tinted midsole and black rubber outsole. The latter is struck with a flash of white to marry up to the tongue’s reflective overlay to complete the design.
See for yourself here below, and look for these to hit select Swoosh stockists and Nike.com in the coming weeks; a date is yet to be confirmed. As always, keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account for further updates.
