About the Nike Air Max 97
The 'Platinum Racer Blue' colourway keeps the Air Max 97's proportions intact while shifting the palette toward a cool, metallic register. Pure Platinum covers most of the upper, standing in for the model's original metallic silver finish, while Racer Blue picks out the overlays and branding for contrast. The wavy reflective lines and concealed lacing that define the silhouette remain unchanged underneath the new colour treatment.
Nike released this pair under its Premium line, the designation it uses across the range for general releases finished with upgraded materials rather than a standard build. It arrived on May 14, 2019 at a retail price of $170, keeping the full-length visible Air unit that has run the length of the sole since the model's debut as a running shoe.
