About the Nike Air Max 97 "White University Red"
White mesh covers most of the upper on this Air Max 97, with grey fog taking over the wavy overlay panels that wrap the shoe. University red is reserved for smaller hits, the mini Swoosh on the quarter panel and trim around the eyelets, keeping the shoe closer to a neutral, everyday colourway than a loud one.
It retails at $170, keeping the model's hidden lacing and Air cushioning that runs the length of the sole, but in a lighter, mesh forward build than the canvas or textile colourways released elsewhere in this run. The grey fog and university red combination sits closer to the model's earlier, more restrained colourways than the brighter releases elsewhere in this run, relying on tonal contrast rather than a headline colour to stand apart.
