Nike’s Air Max 97 “Silver Bullet” has seen its fair share of releases and restocks over the past few months. As a result of its success, Nike will revisit the Air Max 97 model and add a few updates to provide it with a contemporary aesthetic. It will soon join the Swoosh’s Ultra family thanks to its rebuilt upper which replaces excess materials with lighter components. Its 3M reflective detailing returns in addition to swapping out the Air Max 97’s embroidered tracks with simpler taped execution.

Slated to launch on August 5 via SNKRS and August 17 at global retailers, you can check out more imagery of the Nike Air Max 97 Ultra “Silver Bullet” above in addition to more previewed iterations of the Air Max 97.
