Without a shadow of a doubt, the Air Max 97 is one of the most iconic Swoosh sneakers of all time. Designed by Christian Tresser back in 1997, its aesthetic has remained pretty much unchanged since. To pay tribute to the early days, the Oregon-based sportswear giant has gone full throwback for the Nike Air Max 97 Athletic Company "Beige," and it's packed with a bunch of vintage-inspired details that you can't help but adore.
Working on top of a sail mesh base, wavy beige overlays wrap around the entire upper for that legendary AM97 look that we all know and love. Fiery red Swooshes are finely stitched across the tongue tag and sidewalls, while pull tabs also feature around the tongue and heel for extra convenience. Along the bottom you'll find a full-length Air midsole, and rounding off this special edition colorway, "Nike: The Sports & Athletic Company" is printed on the insoles, complete with a flag motif that reminds us of Beaverton brand's college athletics days.
The Nike Air Max 97 Athletic Company Beige is releasing in Spring 2023 in men's sizes with a retail price yet TBA. Set to drop at Nike, the SNKRS app, and select online and in-store retailers as part of a much wider collection, make sure you keep it locked for your best chance to cop, and hit us up on Twitter and ourMobile App to be kept up to date with the hottest sneaker and streetwear releases and news!
