Launching as part of Nike’s ‘Air Sprung’ collection, the Air Max 97 ‘Cream’ delivers a playful take on the retro running shoe. Purple rope laces secure the tan textile upper, accented with a series of wavy synthetic suede overlays in a subtle cream hue (and a lone textile overlay in fuchsia). ‘Air Sprung’ is inscribed on each webbing heel tab and tongue, the latter featuring a butterfly graphic on the left shoe and a caterpillar graphic on the right. The caterpillar motif is repeated on the embroidered Swoosh that decorates the lateral quarter panel. Lightweight cushioning arrives via a purple-tinged full-length Max Air unit. Push your style full speed ahead with the Nike Air Max 97. Inspired by the streamlined look of bullet trains, these easy-to-style kicks feature full-length Nike Air units for first-class comfort. Benefits Originally designed for performance running, full-length Nike Air cushioning (the first of its kind) pairs best-in-class comfort with sporty style. Hidden lacing system delivers a streamlined look. Foam midsole delivers plush cushioning. Rubber outsole adds traction and durability.
