Nike Air Max 97 Black Red DV3486-001

Thanks to Jordan Brand and the ever-beloved Air Jordan 1, “Bred” — Black + Red, for the uninitiated — has become synonymous with sneaker culture as a whole. And whenever a silhouette outside the core Jumpman line-up makes use of said color combination, it’s very obvious where its influences originate.

Further adding to the drove of admirers, this Air Max 97 incorporates both of the above-mentioned colors yet again. The reds, though typically more of a focal point, are relegated to the Swooshes along the side and tongue as well as the detailing across both the heel and outsole. Elsewhere, the leather and mesh assembly proffer the dark neutral, matching that of the laces, lining, midsole, and the like.

Enjoy an official look at this forthcoming Air Max 97 below, and sit tight as we await the colorway’s release on Nike.com and at select retailers.
