The Air Max 97 'Patent Leather' was launched in April 2018, drawing inspiration from Japan's swift bullet trains and the sleek appearance of mountain bikes. The shoe showcases a mesmerizing silver colorway with reflective accents, capturing the essence of the OG design. The original Christian Tresser shoe design was further influenced by the undulating patterns seen on water surfaces, which are beautifully recreated in the wavy leather design lines of the upper. Moreover, the shoe boasts full-length Max Air cushioning, ensuring a comfortable and cushioned experience with long-lasting impact protection. With its innovative design and superior cushioning technology, the Air Max 97 'Patent Leather' offers both style and functionality.
