About the Nike Air Max 97/BW "Metallic Gold Red"
The Air Max 97/BW pairs two Air Max silhouettes in one shoe, taking its rounded upper shape from the Air Max BW and setting it on the 97's sole unit. This 'Metallic Gold Red' pair covers that upper in leather and mesh finished mostly in Metallic Gold, with University Red breaking through at the Swoosh and the Nike Air branding. Black covers the mudguard and the outsole tread, grounding the metallic finish.
Underfoot, the shoe keeps the 97's full-length visible Air unit, tinted gold to match the upper. It released on November 22, 2018 at a retail price of $170, one of two BW hybrid colourways Nike put out within days of each other that November. The mash-up format sets it apart from the standard Air Max 97 build, which uses its own upper shape rather than borrowing from the BW.
