Following a brightly-colored version as part of the recent “Corduroy” pack, Nike has returned to its Air Max 97 silhouette for another new release. The “Confetti” sneaker’s upper comes in a tonal gray colorway — officially described as “Light Pumice/Anthracite/Fiberglass” — which acts as a canvas for the more colorful elements of the sneaker.

Undoubtedly the stand-out feature of the women’s exclusive is the confetti pattern which appears across the sneaker, with touches of pink, red, blue and orange spread across. The sneaker is then finished with a black rubber outsole and a mint green air bubble. The “Confetti” Air Max 97 is set to drop at Nike’s web store and select retailers on April 12, with pricing set at $160 USD.

For more Nike Air Max 97 news, two new colorways from Virgil Abloh could be on the way.
