The Best of Both: the Nike Air Max 97 Plus

Nike Air Max 97 Plus

The NIKE AIR MAX 97 PLUS takes elements of two favourite running silhouettes and combines them in a fresh new configuration.

The buzz on the recently retro’d Nike Air Max 97 has been unprecedented – and with good reason. Christian Tresser’s futuristic design (apparently inspired by mountain bikes, rather than the age-old tale of high-speed Bullet trains) rocked the spot, with contours and curves that gave the shoe a true feeling of speed and momentum. The original design still looks great, but this new hybrid model adds the midsole from the Air Max Plus – or TN, as most prefer to call it – to dramatic effect. The flat sole on the original design of the 97 provided a solid, straightforward platform underfoot, but the contours of the TN sole emphasize the curves of the 97’s upper panels. No doubt, this will have some purists up in arms, but we think it’s an interesting evolution of this year’s must-have Air Max retro. This edition we’re showing here keeps things simple with a black and white colour scheme, perfect for showing off the arcs and lines of both the upper and sole unit.

The NIKE AIR MAX 97 PLUS is due to release on TUESDAY 21 NOVEMBER. In the meantime, you can check out the latest releases at FOOTPATROL by clicking the banner below.
