About the Nike Air Max 97 "Off Noir"

Designer Christian Tresser's original Air Max 97 shape gets a moodier treatment in 'Off Noir', built from a synthetic leather and mesh upper meant to breathe more than the shoe's original layered construction. A subtle safari print sits at the mudguard, visible mostly up close, while the model's reflective wave lines still trace across the panels in their usual position.

Underfoot, a visible Air unit runs the length of the sole for cushioning, set on a rubber outsole built for daily traction. Nike released the 'Off Noir' Air Max 97 on December 8, 2018 at $170, dressing it in Total Orange and Thunder Grey against the dark base rather than the silver tones of the 1997 original. The result trades the shoe's metallic identity for a low-key, mostly black colourway with just enough contrast to read as a distinct release.
