Cargo khaki and rugged orange break across a phantom grey suede upper on this Air Max 97, with black covering the heel and outsole for contrast. The suede base gives the running shoe's wavy side panels a rougher, more textured finish than the smoother leather and mesh versions of the silhouette. Nike released the Cargo Khaki Rugged Orange colourway on October 3, 2023, at $175.
The Air Max 97 carries the model's concealed lacing system and a visible Air unit that runs the length of the sole, features that have defined the running shoe since 1997. The silhouette built a devoted following in Italy, particularly around Milan, well before it became a broader style staple, and colourways like this rugged, outdoor-toned suede pair keep that original running shape unchanged beneath the new materials.
