Suede covers the upper on this Air Max 97 NH 'Rough Green,' released May 21, 2022, priced at $180, giving the wavy overlay panels a textured, matte surface in place of the mesh or leather more commonly used on the model. Rough Green sits as the dominant tone, with Ironstone shading the underlays and Metallic Gold picking out the eyestay and heel branding.
The suede finish sets this pair apart from the brand's more common mesh and leather Air Max 97 builds, giving the wavy overlay panels a matte, textured surface rather than a smooth or glossy one. Metallic Gold picks up light differently than the reflective piping used on mesh releases, giving this pair a duller, more metallic shine instead of a bright reflective flash. At $180, it prices in line with the other premium suede and leather Air Max 97 releases Nike has put out in recent years.
