About the Nike Air Max 97 'Have a Nike Day'

Where the Indigo Storm 'Have a Nike Day' pair keeps things closer to black and white, this Space Purple and Washed Coral colorway leans into a brighter, more layered palette. A soft lavender covers the suede mudguard, teal panels cover the ripple overlays, and a tan mesh fills in the base, all pulled from the same 2019 Air Max Day collection built around Nike's vintage smiley face graphic.

The collection's signature touch shows up at the laces, where a circular jewel reworks the classic smiley icon with a Swoosh worked into the design. Nike released this pair in March 2019 at $170, alongside the rest of that year's Air Max Day range. The wavy reflective piping and visible Air cushioning from the 1997 original stay in place underneath the added color, keeping the shape recognizable despite the busier finish.
