Layer on style with the Air Max 97. Cracked leather and soft suede update the iconic design, while the original look (inspired by Japanese bullet trains and water droplets) still takes center stage. Easy-to-style colors let you hit the streets quickly. Originally designed for performance running, the full-length Max Air unit adds soft cushioning. Suede and synthetic leather upper with mesh underlays adds breathability and durability. Hidden lacing system was a first of its kind and delivers a streamlined look. Pull tabs on heel and tongue for easy on and off.
