Chunky Waved Low-Cut Sneakers

Nike's Air Max 97 Sneaker Gets a White Bullet Tonal Makeover

Sportswear giant Nike offers another iteration of the Air Max 97 sneaker model in a White Bullet color palette for a crisp look this season. This design simultaneously celebrates the brand's 25th year anniversary as it is set on a silver mesh base foundation overlaid with white wavy leather materials.

Red Nike Swoosh logos are applied for a stark contrast along with the outcropped sides and padded chunky tongue section. Additional details include the black Air Max pull tabs at the heel for easy wearing. Additional Air Max branding can be seen on the insoles as well and a white clear air bubble midsole rounds out the design with the black and red rubber outsole for traction.
