Nike first introduced its signature Air Max 97 sneaker model in a Gold Bullet colorway back in 1999 and now it gets another iteration of the Metallic Gold colorway that takes on a darker palette. The shoes are made from a blend of both mesh and gloss leather materials.
It is then accented with hits of 3M materials in order to create reflective touches throughout the shoe. Branding can be seen in the form of the embroidered golden Swooshes that are seen along the lateral side of the shoe through the cutout accents. Additional details include the contrast stitching by the pull-tabs along the heel and black that marks the leather tongue tabs, sole units, and mesh tongue.
