Corduroy Lands on the Nike Air Max 97

In Nike’s year of anniversaries, including the brand’s historic 50th year of business, silhouettes such as the Air Force 1 and Air Max 97 have been celebrated throughout 2022. In continuation of this, the Swoosh has prepared yet another look for the Air Max 97. The Japanese bullet train-inspired sneaker has seen lots of love this year with key releases involving classic colorways and a collaboration with COMME des GARÇONS HOMME PLUS.

This time around, Nike has outfitted the Air Max 97 in a mixed material look that features corduroy at the mudguard. Designed for the women’s sportswear division, this colorway begins with a white Air-infused sole unit and a white mesh base at the upper that joins fall-ready accents. Beginning with the aforementioned mudguard, a brown corduroy joins the look with matching Swooshes and pull tabs. A darker shade of brown then appears on the layer above the mudguard with the following layer carrying a soft lime green that also appears on the lacing system, completing the look.

Currently, Nike has yet to share any release information regarding this brown corduroy women’s colorway of the Air Max 97. Expect it to hit shelves in the coming months via Nike and select retailers.
