About the Nike Air Max 97 Ultra 17 "Anthracite"
Ultra 17 is Nike's 2017 remaster of the Air Max 97, trading the original's layered leather and mesh panels for a single-piece knit jacquard upper finished with synthetic overlays. The 'Anthracite' colourway applies that lighter construction in black and anthracite, with Pure Platinum breaking up the tonal upper and a sculpted white midsole underneath.
Nike released it on August 5, 2017 at $160, making it one of the first colourways to launch in the Ultra 17 line. Because the seamless upper strips away the layered overlays of the standard 97, it ranked among the lightest builds of the model at the time. The Air unit keeps its familiar visible shape beneath the white midsole, running the length of the sole and preserving the model's core cushioning even as the upper construction changes.
