Inspired by Japanese bullet trains and water ripples, Nike combines an iconic AM97 silhouette with a legendary black/metallic silver-university red colorway to produce the Nike Air Max 97 Black Red Silver. The release of the Nike Air Max 97 Black Red Silver features contrasting gray hues infused in a red-and-black palette. The shoe is decked out in smooth leather and an ultra-breathable mesh for comfort. Furthermore, it features a red Swoosh logo on the side walls and tongue, while the pull tabs extend to the heel to easily slip the shoe on and off. The sneaker gains a balance between durability and comfort from its full-length Air midsole and red-and-black rubber outsole. The Nike Air Max 97 Black Red Silver was released at a retail price of $160 on July 18th, 2019.
