Nike Gives a New Take on OG Air Max 97 Colorways

Since returning in 2017 to celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Air Max 97 has seen frequent releases. The 1997 runner has surfaced in two brand new colorways inspired by the OG "Silver Bullet" and "Metallic Gold" editions. 

Each upper is composed of a black mesh with tonal overlays. Gold or silver hits are utilized on the mud guard, tongue, and midsole of each respective pair. Taking further cues from the original colorways, each is given red branding on the side panel, tongue, and heel tab. 

According to US11, both pairs are slated to release as quickstrikes on Friday, Nov. 9 at the silhouette's usual retail price of $170.
