In July 2007, a special edition of the Air Max classic was released as a tribute to the city of Boston. Limited to only 140 pairs, the Air Max 97 iD 'Boston' sneaker showcases the iconic colors of the Boston Red Sox team, with alternating panels of Sports Red and White accentuating its signature wave pattern. Adding a touch of elegance, a glossy Dark Obsidian mudguard embraces the shoe. Furthermore, the alternate tongue tags proudly display 'Bean' and 'Town'. Keeping true to its original design that introduced exceptional comfort in 1997, the shoe features a full-length Air unit. This limited edition release pays homage to Boston while incorporating the timeless style and comfort of the Air Max 97 silhouette.
