About the Nike Air Max 97 GS "Phantom"
GS on a Nike tag marks grade school sizing, not a separate design, and this 'Phantom' colorway brings the Air Max 97 shape down to kids' sizes for January 2018 at $160. The shoe keeps the model's hidden lacing system and wavy side panels, set here in a soft, neutral Phantom tone rather than the original 1997 shoe's metallic silver finish. Phantom is one of Nike's standard neutral greys, giving this pair a quieter base than many of the line's louder colorways.
A shimmering rose-gold finish runs across the mudguard, offering the one bright accent against the otherwise quiet upper. Underneath, a soft foam midsole and a full-length visible Max Air unit carry over from the adult shoe, keeping the cushioning setup consistent even at kids' sizing. The result is a pair built for younger feet that still carries the same wave-patterned silhouette and Air cushioning first introduced on the adult shoe in 1997.
