20 years after its initial introduction, the Air Max 97 is still one of the most sought after shoes in the Air Max line up. Fashion designer Riccardo Tisci teams up with NikeLab to recreate a classic in his unmistakable aesthetic. The updated Nike Air Max 97 gets an elevated mid-cut that draws simultaneously from Tisci’s Italian couture influences and streetstyle background. A concealed zip pocket on the tongue gives the shoe some added functionality, while a translucent milky white outsole creates a stunning contrast with the runway-inspired tumbled synthetic leather and synthetic suede underlays of the upper.
