About the Nike Air Max 97 "Black University Red"
Black covers nearly this Air Max 97's mesh upper, broken only by university red hits at the Swoosh, lace unit and tongue branding, with white rounding out the palette. The mostly monochrome build keeps the model's wavy side panels intact while letting the red details stand out against the dark base. Nike released the Black University Red colourway on August 11, 2022, at $185.
This colourway keeps the Air Max 97's defining details: a lacing system tucked mostly out of sight beneath the upper, and Air cushioning visible along the entire underfoot from heel to toe. Nike first released the model in 1997 as a running shoe at $150, and the same silhouette carries through here in a nearly all-black finish accented with red.
