Part of the Throwback Future pack, the Air Max 97 LX Throwback Future features an iridescent finish on its signature wavy construction. Rather than the usual layers, the upper includes a colorful synthetic build, with solid black on the mudguard. The tongue sports a breathable mesh build, with a Laser Fuchsia Swoosh at the midfoot. Underfoot, a full-length Max Air unit provides cushioning, giving way to a rubber outsole for traction.
