Smoke grey and medium ash form the base of this Air Max 97 NH's suede upper, with metallic silver running through the wavy overlay lines and heel. The tonal grey build keeps the reflective piping in a quieter, cooler register than the brighter colourways released the same year, closer in spirit to the model's original metallic finish without matching it directly. The suede construction gives the panels a softer texture than the smoother leather and synthetic builds used elsewhere in the lineup.
This colourway released May 21, 2022 at $170, twenty dollars above the model's original 1997 running shoe launch price and cheaper than every other Air Max 97 colourway from that same year. The grey and silver combination leans toward everyday wear rather than a specific collaboration or thematic release.
