Not many sneakers can reach its 25 year milestone and still look exactly the same as it did when it initially debuted. That's what makes Christian Tresser's Nike Air Max 97 so special. When it was first introduced back in 1997 it looked extremely futuristic. A quarter of a century later, and we are still saying the exact same thing. With that said, we're now getting up close and personal with the Nike Air Max 97 "Cream II Rust Oxide," and it's hands down one of the silhouette's cleanest colorways yet.
Inspired by water ripples, the signature layered design is crafted from mesh and leather panels in cream, with a mudguard wrapping around the exterior of the AM 97. Khaki and olive grey accents add some contrast to the otherwise monotone model, while light rust oxide orange tones adorn the tongue and side Swoosh branding. Underfoot you'll find an extremely comfortable midsole that comes equipped with a full-length Max Air unit, and to round it all off, pull tabs at the tongue and heel provide that classic rugged and ready look that we all know and love. This sneaker has been specifically designed to be worn with whatever fit you decide to throw on.
The Nike Air Max 97 Cream II Rust Oxide is set to release this Holiday 2022 in men's sizes for $185. Expected to drop at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers online and in-store worldwide, make sure you keep it locked at Sole Retriever's Twitter ourMobile App for your best chance to cop!
