The Air Max 97 'Black Metallic Silver' flips the model's original silver-toned look, building the upper from black mesh with reflect silver and metallic silver panels along the wave lines, finished in the same reflective Scotchlite material Nike has used on the silhouette since 1997, and white underlays at the mudguard. Nike released the pair in September 2022 at $175.
The reflective wave panels pick up light the same way the original 1997 colourway did, even though the base here runs black rather than silver. Nike splits the silver across two distinct tones, reflect silver and metallic silver, on the overlays. Underneath, the shoe keeps the model's hidden lacing system and a visible Air unit running the length of the sole, the same construction carried across the family regardless of colourway, season or price point.
