Nike Air Max 97 Gets Suited Up With Cow Print
Christian Tresser’s classic design is reimagined with creamy uppers and playful animal prints on the mudguards and heel tabs.
Designers at Nike have been more experimental with the designs of its Air Max 97 throughout the course of 2023 thus far. We recently saw it appear with platform sole units and dimensional overlays as the latest member of the brand’s Futura family, and saw it filtered through a racing-inspired lens thanks to rapper IDK‘s collaborative efforts. And now, we’re getting to witness the Christian Tresser-designed silhouette be reimagined this summer with playful cow print graphics.
The cattle graphics are the most outstanding element of these Sportswear kicks as they arrive in the form of solid black blotches that cover the cracked leather mudguards and Air Max-branded heel tabs. Every other component of the she leans into a cleaner aesthetic such as the buttery suede tongues and side panels which see through to a creamy background while the interior liners and laces are done up in an off-white hue. Down below, the midsoles are pieced together with more creamy, glossy finishes and come with transparent windows to see through to its tonal Air units.
No official release information has been announced for these yet, but you can likely find Nike and other retailers dropping them in the coming months.
