In November 2018, Nike introduced the Air Max 97 SE GS 'Metallic Silver Bronze' specifically designed for grade school children. This new edition pays homage to the Christian Tresser classic, incorporating shiny accents that beautifully capture its diverse sources of inspiration. Drawing inspiration from both Japanese bullet trains and the gentle ripples of water, Tresser ingeniously added wavy overlays to enhance structural stability and lend the sneaker a sleek and aerodynamic appearance. He was particularly fascinated by the metallic-on-metallic aesthetic seen in popular mountain bikes, which he expertly applied to achieve a mesmerizing shimmering finish, mirroring the appeal of this particular kids' version.
