Pale blue mesh covers the main panels on the Air Max 97 'Light Blue,' out September 21, 2018 at $160, with white leather laid over the wave-shaped overlays. The combination keeps the palette soft and light rather than following the silhouette's original metallic look, and the white carries down onto the branding and sole edge.
Underneath, a midsole flecked with silver sits below the full-length Air unit that runs heel to toe, a nod to the shoe's original metallic finish without repeating it outright. The rest of the build, mesh underlays alternating with the leather overlay panels and the model's concealed lace loops tucked beneath the tongue, stays true to the standard general-release spec Nike sold the 97 in that fall.
