About the Nike Air Max 97 'Be True'

Pink oxford runs across most of the leather upper, with anthracite darkening the wavy side panels and adobe warming the mudguard and heel, a three-tone palette that swaps the model's usual neutrals for something brighter. The concealed lacing system and reflective piping carry over from the standard build, so the shape reads as pure Air Max 97 under the new colors.

Nike put the shoe out in June 2023 at $180, and it carries the model's visible Air unit, running the length of the sole, beneath a white midsole and waffle-traction outsole. Nothing about the construction changes for this colorway; the pink, anthracite and adobe treatment is applied over the same leather panels Nike uses across most of its general-release Air Max 97 pairs.
