This Frank Rudy colorway sets the Air Max 97 in summit white suede, pairing it with black across the eyestay, mudguard and heel counter. Safety orange picks out the lace tips and heel pull, the only bright accent against an otherwise two tone upper. Nike released the pair on February 23, 2023 at 185 dollars.
Suede gives the upper a matte, textured finish compared with the mesh used on the model's original running build, while keeping the shoe's wavy side panels and hidden lace loops intact. The white and black base keeps the pair close to a classic two tone treatment, letting the safety orange carry the accent work rather than a larger color block. Nike has used the Air Max 97 shape as a running silhouette since 1997, and this suede colorway sits within the model's ongoing rotation of general release makeups.
