All Nike Air Max 97 release dates & colorways
Part of Nike's City Special series, which dresses various Air Max models in a single city's colors, this pair leans into varying shades of orange across a layered canvas and synthetic build, finished with a reflective coating on the overlays. Contrasting black covers the pull tabs and branding, and a small woven LA tag sits on the tongue. Nike released the shoe on February 26, 2021, at a retail price of $170.
Underfoot, the AM97's full length visible Max Air unit carries through unchanged, buoyant cushioning wrapped in a city specific palette rather than a standard general release color story. Canvas in place of the model's usual mesh or leather gives this Los Angeles pair a slightly heavier, more textured hand than the smoother Ultra builds released the same year.
