The Nike Air VaporMax 97 Silver Bullet is a hybrid sneaker that combines the design of the Air Max 97 with VaporMax technology. It features a unique texture with a mix of smooth surfaces and textured details. The upper is designed with reflective silver material created by 3M and accented with red and black elements, while largely maintaining a silver color. The VaporMax technology is incorporated into the sole, combining the midsole and outsole into one VaporMax unit. Released on April 12, 2018, it showcases the physical manifestation of 'old meets new,' taking inspiration from the iconic OG colorway of the Air Max 97, celebrated for introducing full-length visible Air. The shoe is designed with an ostentatious silver finish, period-correct details like the red mini-Swoosh and black nylon pull loops, along with the promise of full Air cushioning provided by Nike's VaporMax platform below.
