First Looks // Nike Air Max 97 Futura

Nike Sportswear's "Futura" range will introduce a new model in 2023, with the futuristic feelings now thrust upon Christian Tresser's timeless Air Max 97 design.

While maintaining key elements of its iconic DNA, such as the sweeping visible Air units and the multiple overlays, the new model truly embraces a forward-looking aesthetic. The updated design features organic-shaped, wavy overlays on the upper, along with distinctive eyestay pod overlays, cut-outs on the lower guards, and luxurious high-shag suede. The foundation of the shoe is built on a tightly-woven mesh upper, while athletic mesh envelops the tongue.

The outsole also receives an upgrade, showcasing added thickness and enhanced traction beneath the shoe. The color palette combines pristine whites and vibrant hot pinks to offset the rich olive tone that dominates the upper section.

A release date for this new Nike Air Max 97 Futura “Olive” is yet to be revealed, but you should expect to see pairs hit select stores and Nike.com soon.
