The Nike Air Max 97 Light Bone dresses a classic silhouette in an eye-catching dual colorway that pops with contrast. The Light Bone colorway of the Nike Air Max 97 features an upper of lightweight, breathable light bone mesh overlaid with wavy strips of different shades of light bone synthetic leather. The black mesh tongue is crisscrossed by black rope laces that match the black sock liner and insole. One black pull tab runs vertically up the heel, and another adorns the tongue, providing ease with on/off. This elegantly designed upper rests atop a black foam midsole that houses visible Max Air units. The black rubber outsole, with hits of light bone, features heritage waffle lugs that provide traction and absorb impact. Nike Swooshes appear on the tongue tag, insole, mudguard window, and outsole, while Air Max branding adorns the pull tab on the heel. The Nike Air Max 97 Light Bone was released on June 1, 2017, for a retail price of $170.
