About the Nike Air Max 97 "Action Grape"
Leather replaces the mesh-and-leather mix the Air Max 97 usually runs on this 'Action Grape' colorway, released May 4, 2023 at $175. White forms the base, black sits along the branding and trim, and two shades of purple, a lighter oxygen purple and a deeper grape tone, split the wave-shaped overlay panels between them.
At $175, it lands above the model's usual general-release price, a bump that tracks with the full-leather upper rather than any collaboration or limited status. The full-length Air unit and hidden lace loops carry over from the standard build, so the two-purple split across the paneling is the pair's one distinguishing move, set against a leather upper that sits heavier and creases differently than the mesh panels used on most Air Max 97 colorways.
