Nike introduces its latest iteration of the signature Air Max 97 silhouette -- the new rendition boasts a colorway that features the label's 'Game Royal' blue, red, white, and metallic silver. The bright sneaker option is constructed from a mesh textile throughout the uppers in a paneled design, inspired by the look of retro sports jerseys.
The wavy uppers showcase metallic silver hues over the leather mid stripe and the miniature Swoosh branding accent informed by embroidery. Additional branding spotlights the tongue tab as it boasts a detachable Swoosh velcro patch. To round out the entire footwear model, there are the label's signature Air Max bubbles at the midsoles and multi-tonal pull tabs at the heels.
