Nike's latest rendition of the Air Max 97 presents a solid alternative to anyone looking for the vibe of the popular OG "Silver Bullet" colorway. 

This latest pair sports an all-grey upper with contrast coming from colored branding hits just like the original "Silver Bullet" pair. However, this new colorway is devoid of the typical silver 3M piping. Instead, it opts to replace it with a grey suede. The red Swoosh branding on the tongue, mid panel, and outsole are replaced with royal blue this time around as well.

Anyone who has been unlucky securing a pair from any of the the numerous restocks of the "Silver Bullet" Air Max 97 this past year, or just simply approves of the subtle color change and material swap can grab a pair via the JD Sports web store for £145 (app. $202). A U.S. release date for this colorway has not been confirmed. Take a look at detailed shots of the pair below.
