The 2018 edition of Nike's Air Max 97 presents a distinctive combination of black and orange hues in its Ultra Premium version. Inspired by the sleekness of Japanese bullet trains, the shoe features a wavy synthetic upper in black and Anthracite colors. Additionally, its retooled outsole showcases a speckled orange design. The shoe's enhanced cushioning and flexibility are provided by a visible full-length Max Air unit, which is also in black.
