About the Nike Air Max 97 BW

The Air Max 97/BW takes the silhouette of the Air Max 97 and grafts on details from the Air Max BW, Nike's other visible-Air runner from the early 1990s. This 'Black Metallic Silver' pair covers the mashup in a black textile and synthetic upper with white underlays, topped by a metallic silver mudguard that echoes the 97's original finish. A Swoosh wraps around the heel in one continuous piece rather than sitting as a separate side panel, and the tongue and eyestay carry the reflective piping associated with the 97 family.

Underfoot, a visible Air unit runs the length of the sole for cushioning, set on a rubber outsole built for daily wear rather than performance running. Nike released the 'Black Metallic Silver' on November 27, 2018 at a retail price of $170, positioning it among the pricier general releases in the 97 line that year. The black and silver palette keeps the pair close to the original 97 colour story while the mudguard and heel construction mark it out as a hybrid rather than a straight retro.
