The Nike Air Max 97 Futura Comes Colored in Cream

Nike Sportswear's "Futura" collection is set to unveil a fresh addition in 2023, as the innovative spirit of the series merges with Christian Tresser's classic Air Max 97 silhouette.

Preserving the essential aspects of its iconic heritage, such as the flowing visible Air units and numerous overlays, the latest model embodies a progressive aesthetic. The revamped design boasts organically-inspired, undulating overlays on the upper, paired with eye-catching eyestay pod overlays, cut-outs on the lower guards, and opulent high-shag suede. The shoe's base is constructed with a tightly-woven mesh upper, while athletic mesh encases the tongue. The outsole also enjoys an upgrade, featuring increased thickness and improved traction beneath the shoe. The color scheme blends immaculate whites and electrifying hot pinks to contrast the deep olive hue that dominates the upper portion.

A release date for this new Nike Air Max 97 Futura “Cream” — the subsequent colorway after the "Olive" variant — remains undisclosed, but we anticipate pairs to become available at select retailers and Nike.com shortly.

As we await more information, take a moment to admire the official images of the pair below, and stay tuned to our official Twitter account for additional updates.
