All Nike Air Max 97 release dates & colorways
Nike released the pair on January 4, 2021, at a retail price of $170.
The synthetic build keeps weight down compared with leather or suede versions of the shoe, while still carrying the model's full length visible Air cushioning through the midsole. Against the near all black base, the University Red hits read as a single sharp accent rather than a second dominant color, closer in spirit to the shoe's original red and silver pairing than its brighter multi tone releases.
