About the Nike Wmns Air Max 97 'University Red'

Christian Tresser, who designed the original Air Max 97, is credited on this Wmns colorway as well, built almost entirely in University Red leather across the upper. Black and leopard-print detailing runs in stripes along the quarter panel, breaking up the red with the only patterned material used on the shoe.

It released January 4, 2019 at $160, giving the model a bolder, single-color treatment compared to the grayscale and earth-toned Wmns colorways that came out earlier that year and the year before. The construction stays close to the standard build, down to a visible Air unit that runs the length of the sole, so the leopard print and the solid red upper do the work of setting this pair apart.
