A Match Made In Heaven: Nike Air Max 97 Silver Bullet

All aboard the steeze train, as the NIKE AIR MAX 97 SILVER BULLET returns in its OG silver and red make up.

It’s a great time for fans of the ‘90s-fly silver bullet colourway, as Nike prepare to drop the silhouette in its original metallic and red palette next week. A seminal silhouette in Italian street culture and embraced by the whole world over, the late-90s shoe was inspired by high-speed Japanese bullet trains and to be fair, still gets hearts of the most seasoned sneaker aficionados beating just as fast. Despite being two decades deep into its lifetime, the Air Max 97’s innovative design has stood the test of time, leaving the silhouette hard to challenge on many levels.

Now, 20 years since it first broke onto the scene, the Air Max 97 returns in its throwback silver and red make-up, featuring its signature striped synthetic uppers which sit atop that instantly recognisable midsole, perfectly packed with visible air.

Get ready to make like Road Runner for this drop, as in a nutshell, the whole damn world is gonna want to get their hands on a pair of these bad boys.
