Koi takes the Air Max 97's Premium suede treatment, finished in summit white with yellow ochre and topaz gold covering the wavy side panels and eyestay. Nike released the pair on November 15, 2022 at 185 dollars, a premium tier price point above the model's general release colorways.
Suede gives the upper a softer texture than the mesh used on most Air Max 97 colorways, and the warm yellow and gold tones spread across the shoe's signature wavy overlays rather than sitting as a single accent. Summit white anchors the base at the toe and heel, keeping the amber and gold panels as the focal color of the upper. Nike lists the pair under its Premium line, a designation used across the Air Max 97 range for elevated materials rather than a limited release.
