The Nike Air Max 97 GS 'Los Angeles' is a part of Nike's 'City Special' collection, catered towards older children. This particular sneaker pays homage to the city of Los Angeles with its vibrant orange textile upper and reflective synthetic overlays in a wavy design. To create contrast, black accents such as an embroidered mini-Swoosh on the quarter panel and webbing pull tabs on the tongue and heel break the uniform color scheme. Additionally, a small LA woven tag is placed on the sneaker's lateral side, adding an extra touch to its LA-inspired theme.
