More than two decades after the release of the original Nike Air Max 97, Nike decided to put out the Nike Air Max 97 Black Clear Emerald in 2018. It provided a more modern look for the Air Max 97 by including new colors on it. The updated Air Max 97 is constructed of black and white mesh and leather on the upper. It also features small pops of emerald green on the swoosh, collar, and outsole. Additionally, it has reflective silver accents that draw attention to the piping used on the sneaker. In our expert opinion, what makes this sneaker so special is the same thing that made it special back in 1997. The full-length visible Air Unit continues to stand out and help define this Air Max shoe. The Nike Air Max 97 Black Clear Emerald was released on 15th October 2018 for $160.
