Nike Air Max 97 NH “Rough Green/Metallic Gold” DR0157-300

The Nike Air Max 97 celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2022, but it’s kept things relatively tame in the first four months of the year.

Recently, Christian Tresser’s iconic design appeared in a fall-appropriate “Rough Green/Ironstone/Metallic Gold” mix ahead of summer. At first glance, the pair is reminiscent of past collaborations by Los Angeles’ UNDEFEATED, but closer inspection reveals a brand-new ensemble. Base layers indulge in two shades of “Metallic Gold” and materials, with the vamp underlays donning the most elegant iteration of the tone. Hairy suede throughout the upper deviates in a muted “Rough Green” and “Ironstone” combination. Underfoot, sole units opt for a tried-and-proven black and white arrangement, with the former color taking over the revolutionary full-length Air Max unit.

Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch before the year ends.
