The Nike Air Max 97 “Vintage” Gets an Old-School Overhaul

Select Model

As we work deeper into the new year, options of the 25th-anniversary Air Max 97are appearing more frequently — especially as we approach the silhouette’s ever-strong Spring/Summer showing. The next to be served up appears to be part of a wider Nike Sportswear collection, with this Nike Air Max 97 “Vintage” expected to be the first of a few old-school aged-look overhauls.

Clad mostly in oxidized hues, the pair looks to bones, beiges, and browns above the fold, with rich sails and gums resting underfoot. Back up top, you’ll spot a heritage runner influence, with classic nylon uppers, before modern canvas and suede overlays rest atop. The mudguards feature a DIY-like canvas toe cap, while jersey mesh mid panels and chenille liners capture the old-school athletic feel. Furthermore, thick rear ribbon pulls sport retro Nike Sportswear branding, with heritage-branded insoles, and sundry blue swooshed completing the design.

A release date for this delicious new Nike Air Max 97 “Vintage” is yet to be revealed, but you should expect to see pairs hit select stores and Nike.com over the Spring/Summer season.
