Inspired by Japanese bullet trains and water ripples, Nike combines an iconic AM97 silhouette with a legendary black/metallic silver-university red colorway to produce the Nike Air Max 97 Black Red Silver. The shoe features contrasting gray hues infused in a red-and-black palette, made with smooth leather and ultra-breathable mesh for comfort. It includes a red Swoosh logo on the side walls and tongue, with pull tabs for easy on and off. The sneaker offers a balance between durability and comfort with its full-length Air midsole and red-and-black rubber outsole. The Nike Air Max 97 Black Red Silver was released at a retail price of $160 on July 18th, 2019.
