Leather panels in Rough Green and Dark Russet cover the Air Max 97 'Black Olive', with Black and Sail detailing rounding out a palette pulled from military and workwear tones rather than the shoe's usual brights. The wavy overlays wrapping the upper keep their reflective finish, and the hidden lacing system stays tucked beneath a leather tongue and mudguard. Nike released the pair on March 23, 2022 at a retail price of $175.
The design keeps the running shoe's core proportions unchanged, with a rubber outsole built for everyday wear rather than performance mileage. 'Black Olive' shipped as a general release, giving the earth-toned colorway wide availability rather than a limited count. Paired with the leather upper's heavier hand, it reads as a colder-weather counterpart to brighter seasonal Air Max 97 releases at the same $175 price point.
