Walking on Air with the Nike Air Max 97
First released in 1997, the Nike Air Max 97 has stood the test of time. Rumored to be inspired by the bullet trains in Japan, this groundbreaking sneaker was initially influenced by metallic finishes on mountain bikes. Despite the futuristic vibes, designer Christian Tresser also drew inspiration from the simple wavy lines created from a raindrop falling into a puddle. In 2004,
Nike teamed up with San Francisco’s True and created a colorway that moved away from metallic shades and featured a speckled design with earthy tones. Collaborations with Sony PlayStation, Shady Records, and Undefeated followed in subsequent years. The original “Silver Bullet” colorway was re-released in 2017 to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the AM97’s initial debut.
New Tech, More Air
Despite flying under the radar when it first hit the shelves—it was sandwiched between the Air Max 96 and the Air Max 98—the AM97 was actually the first Air Max to utilize a hidden lacing system. This new technology was often overshadowed by the shoe’s futuristic appearance, but this concealed component was a key feature of Christian Tresser’s innovative design. The Air Max 97 was also the first to show off full-length Air in the sole, which was quickly integrated into other Nike models including the Air Max 98 and the VaporMax.
Something For Everyone
Featuring a variety of colorways and textures, the Nike Air Max 97 truly has a design for everyone. From classic black to looks inspired by mixed metals and confetti to uppers featuring suede and velvet, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. A sleek, aerodynamic silhouette sits on top of a full-length Air unit so you always feel like you’re walking—or running—on air. The Air Max 97’s hidden lacing system contributes to the streamlined shape, and Nike’s iconic Swoosh always appears on the side to complete the look.
Nike Air Max 97: Revolution in the Air
Ever since its genesis with the Nike Air Max 1 in 1987, the Air Max family has been built on a revolutionary attitude. Nike was determined to keep pushing the limits of their Air units, making them bigger, stronger, and synonymous with sneaker culture. Air Max was dedicated to creating the future of footwear.

The Nike Air Max 97 Triple White Wolf Gray is a monochromatic take on the original Air Max 97 silhouette. The Triple White Wolf Gray Air Max 97 had a white upper with a similar white shade in curved lines going across the whole of the shoe. The laces, midsole, and pull tabs on the heel and tongue are also white on this white/Wolf Gray-black Nike Air Max 97. The Nike Swoosh logo on the side of the sneaker is gray, matching the logo on the tongue and the inner Air sole.
