Navy And University Blue Liven Up The Nike Air Max 97

Winterized aesthetics have taken the forefront of The Swooshes’ most popular Air Max cushioned silhouettes as of late. With Christian Tresser’s 1997 design continuing to enjoy its 25th anniversary, a black and “Navy pairing takes hold of the latest Nike Air Max 97 offering,

Centered around its full-length deep “Navy” mudguard, additional color-matched samplings treat the tongues’ nylon construction before speckled white accents mark the underlying black mesh creating a grid-like pattern throughout the midfoot. Further pitch-black hits are placed along the inner lining, lacing structure and pull tabs before a lighter tone is established through embroidered “University Blue” Checks and stitched tabs whereas a clad white midsole sits atop the models’ staple Air Bag and two-toned tread.
