The Nike Air Max 97 South Beach (GS) is a version of the running shoes originally released in 1997 designed by Christian Tresser. The design was inspired by high-speed bullet trains in Japan. This version of the Nike Air Max 97 for grade-schoolers is constructed with a soft textile upper in Kinetic Green, overlaid with white and one strip of Pink Blast synthetic leather. The overlays create a wave shape across the entire shoe, giving it a streamlined look. The Nike Swoosh appears in Pink Blast underneath the wave on the midsole, and the outsole is a transparent Air unit. These two elements succeed in exuding South Beach vibes. The Nike Air Max 97 South Beach (GD) was released on April 1st, 2018, for a retail price of $150.
