Nike continues to swap the soles of classic Air Max silhouettes for the seamless Air VaporMax bubble. Following the Air VaporMax Plus is the all-new Air VaporMax 97 shoe wrapped in a beige hue alongside red, white and black accents for a balanced look. Conclusively, the runner is topped off with the translucent Air unit.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the AM97 with the VaporMax sole. This past March, Nike launched their Vote Forward campaign, highlighting unique creations of various Air Max silhouettes created by leading figures in the industry. Designer Artemy Lebedev and creative director Bunyamin Aydin’s interpretations first saw the air bubble sole on the AM97.

Peep the Nike Air VaporMax 97 variant above and expect an official launch at select retailers in 2018.
