Nike returns with a fresh summer footwear offering that is the Air Max 97 “Desert and Sky” silhouette. The beloved low-top’s makeup is reminiscent of a desert horizon with the bright blue portion of the upper mimicking a sweeping sky followed with “Desert Sand and Royal Tan” hues hitting the lower section to imitate the hot terrain. Completing the design is an all black sole unit and Swoosh branding on the midsection for added contrast.

View the sneaker above and purchase a pair now at select shops such as Hanon for approximately $192 USD. In other footwear news, more images of the upcoming Off-White™ x Converse CTAS 70 have surfaced online.
