As many expected, the Nike Air Max 97 has quickly turned into a lifestyle sneaker ripe for premium execution. Removed from traditional leather construction and offered in varying textures, it gives the full-length Air sneaker a bit more versatility.

Suede executions of the Air Max 97 seem ideal for the fall/winter season because they are. The heavy material coat is seen here in a clean Smokey Mauve wrap with a dark blue layer placed just above it. A black center piece features both leather and mesh as with original pairs of the 21-year old silhouette, balancing both the material usage and color blocking.

This upcoming Nike Air Max 97 “Smokey Mauve” is expected later this month.
