About the Nike Air Max 97 "White Gum"
White dominates the toe box, eyestay and heel counter on this Air Max 97 'White Gum,' released March 23, 2021, at a retail price of $170. Mesh forms the upper's base material, while gum light brown covers the sole unit and threads through the reflective piping that wraps the midfoot. It is a general release rather than a designated sub-line, keeping the standard Air Max 97 shape and materials without the lighter Ultra construction or a themed treatment.
Underneath, the visible Air unit still runs the length of the sole beneath the mesh construction, and the hidden lacing keeps the loops tucked below the overlays as on every Air Max 97. The warmer gum tone gives this pair a worn-in look against the reflective wavy lines that wrap the midfoot. At $170, it sits toward the upper end of what the model has retailed for since its mesh-built general releases became the standard offering.
