Nike‘s Air Max 97 recently received various “Metallic Gold/Metallic Silver” editions for the end of the year, but it looks like the classic silhouette has been treated to an even flashier look — a “Metallic Gold” colorway that’s covered in 50,000 Swarovski crystals.

Unveiled by Ava Nirui, aka @avanope, this festive pair features a metallic gold-tone mesh upper that’s maxed-out with sparkly Swarovski crystals throughout its wavy stripe design. The rest of the shoe is complete with tonal lace trims and laces, red mini Swoosh branding, a white midsole, gold-tone visible Air Max bubble units, and black outsoles and inner lining.

Details are still sparse regarding this Swarovski-encrusted Nike Air Max 97 “Metallic Gold” colorway, so stay tuned for more information and share your thoughts in the comments below.

In the meantime, check out the Jordan Legacy 312 in “Black/Gold” for something subtler.
