About the Nike Air Max 97 'Pink Gaze Black'

Hyper Pink piping and white overlays sit against a Pink Gaze base and black foundation on this mesh Air Max 97, keeping the model's wavy side panels and concealed lace loops in a mostly pink colourway. Nike released it on December 6, 2022, priced at $185.

The Air Max 97 launched in 1997 as a running shoe priced at $150, one of the pricier options in its category at the time, and this mesh build follows the same silhouette with a full-length visible Air unit under the foot. Nearly three decades on, the mesh upper trades the original's heavier layered construction for a lighter, more breathable base, and Nike has since expanded the shape into other categories, including a golf shoe, while this pair stays close to its running roots in a mostly pink colourway.
