Nike continues to combine past silhouettes to create new and bold styles; and this release is no different. The Air Max 97/BW takes the upper of Tinker Hatfield's Air Max Classic BW and fuses it with the revolutionary Air Max 97 sole that saw visible Air reach the toe for the first time. Combining two iconic Air Max silhouettes into one; the Air Max 97/BW creates a mashup for the ages. Textile and synthetic-leather upper. Max Air units deliver cushioning with every step. Rubber Swoosh design trademark nods to the original Air Max BW. Modified rubber waffle outsole for traction and durability.
