The Nike Air Max 97 Gears Up in Grey

Select Model

In the midst of its 25th-anniversary celebration, the Nike Air Max 97 has seen quite a few new iterations, including a handful sporting denim duds and one that’s just joined Nike’s impending “Teddy Bear” collection. Its next effort doesn’t venture too far into the world of color or whimsical themes, but it does test the waters on some material placements and color combinations, albeit mostly in monochrome.

Set atop a steely grey mesh upper, the pair looks to similar tones for its reflective and leather overlays, whole laces, mid panels, and pulls also done a silver finish. Black liners and outsoles continue the monochrome mix, the latter also popped with on-theme whites to match the midfoot Swooshes and guard underlays. Migrating away from the colorless bulk, Nike deploys neutral suedes along the medial line, with tinted sole units to match.
