Nike continues to push the Air Max 97 forward with yet another statement release hitting the scene. Just earlier hitting our pages in a “Binary Blue” color scheme, this new model not only sports a new colorway option, but applies a patent leather overlay to help add some textural contrast.

The shoe highlights a grey and silver-toned upper with the model’s signature lines taking on reflective properties, while a black patent leather strip wraps around the mudguard area — making its way around the entire base of the shoe. A clean white midsole, along with a full-length Air Max cushioning unit and a grey/black outsole rounds out the new model. Priced at $160 USD, you can find this Nike Air Max 97 overseas or online in the near future.
