The Air Max 97 Plus 'Silver Shark' gets its name from the renowned Air Max Plus upper, which was affectionately dubbed "Le Requin" by the French due to its striking resemblance to a shark. This hybrid silhouette pays homage to its inspiration as an apex predator with key design elements. The combination of a patent leather mudguard and mesh Air Max upper is showcased in a captivating blue and white colorway, complemented by a signature overlay featuring a gradient of blue that gradually transitions to a shimmering silver. Additional notable features include metallic silver accents and logos, a transparent Air Sole for added visual appeal, and a durable black rubber outsole.
