The "Silver Bullet" Nike Air Max 97 Ultra 17 made its debut in Fall 2017. Inspired by the original AM 97, they come in a metallic silver, varsity red, black and white colorway. Sporting a silver-based Ultra knit and mesh upper with welded overlays, white and black accents and red branding. With a handful of updated elements, this sneaker honors the design and colorway of the OG release from 20 years earlier. This model swaps traditional leather for synthetic tracks on the upper, and features a metal-like mesh gradient that moves across the sidewall and up the tongue. The call-out on the heel strip lets you know you’re wearing an Air Max sneaker, as does the Max Air unit that runs the length of the shoe.
