About the Nike Air Max 97 Ultra ’17 "Mica Green"

This Ultra '17 build of the Air Max 97 swaps the original 1997 shoe's layered upper panels for a single piece of jacquard mesh, shaving weight while keeping the wavy silhouette recognizable. Nike released this Mica Green pairing on March 17, 2018, at $160, ten dollars above the model's original 1997 launch price. Volt sets the main tone here, with Mica Green and Cool Grey worked into the ripple overlays and Scotchlite reflective piping that wraps the shoe from toe to heel.

Christian Tresser designed the Air Max 97 as a running shoe for its 1997 debut, when it became the first Air Max to carry visible cushioning the full length of the sole rather than just at the heel. That full-length Air unit continues under the Ultra '17 midsole here, paired with a hidden lacing system that tucks the loops beneath the upper so the wavy lines read uninterrupted. The reflective piping catches light at night, a detail that has carried across every Air Max 97 make-up since the shoe's original release.
