This Neptune Green Camo colorway spreads a four color camouflage print across the Air Max 97's mesh upper, working coconut milk, barely volt, white and neptune green through the base and the shoe's wavy overlay panels. Nike released the pair on October 9, 2022 at 185 dollars.
The camouflage treatment is a departure from the single or two tone colorways that make up much of the Air Max 97 range, using four closely related light and green tones instead of a sharp contrast. Mesh keeps the upper light, and the print carries through the model's wavy side panels and eyestay, so the pattern reads continuously across the shoe rather than breaking at the panel lines. Barely volt appears only in small doses along the print, keeping the overall palette closer to white and green than yellow, while coconut milk softens the contrast between the camouflage patches and the mesh base beneath them.
