Black mesh dominates the upper on this Air Max 97, with dark marina blue taking over the wavy overlay panels that wrap the shoe from the eyestay back to the heel. Smoke grey fills in the midsole and parts of the outsole, keeping the sole unit close in tone to the blue above it rather than breaking away in white or silver.
This colourway released November 2, 2022 at a retail price of $180, one of the darker, tonal releases from that year's run rather than the brighter mesh or canvas pairs also on shelves. The navy leaning blue gives the shoe a cooler cast than the warmer creams and reds used elsewhere in the same run, leaning toward a more evening appropriate colour story instead.
