A woven plaid panel is the headline feature on the Air Max 97 Premium 'Flannel', released October 12, 2018 at $170. The shoe pairs a light cream leather base with a black textile section carrying that plaid pattern, sometimes known by the nickname 'Tartan.' Cream thread stitches across the plaid, and the look finishes with a black and cream mesh tongue, cream laces, and black branding along the sides and heel.
As a Premium build, the shoe upgrades the standard general-release spec with that mixed leather-and-textile treatment rather than changing the shape underneath. The full-length visible Air unit and the model's concealed lacing system, with the loops tucked beneath the tongue rather than run along the sides, carry over unchanged, so the plaid panel becomes the one distinguishing detail on an otherwise familiar silhouette.
