Nike’s Air Max 97 Goes Wild With a “Leopard Tongue”

Nike’s Air Max 97 has seen a bevy of iterations from multi-colored makeovers to stealthy outfits. With 2022 already more than halfway gone, Nike is prepping a wild “Leopard Tongue” offering of the beloved model.

The upcoming Nike Air Max 97 “Leopard Tongue” is constructed from a mix of mesh, leather, and corduroy materials. The signature wavy patterns jump between different tones of green, white and 3M reflective details, while the tongue boasts the eye-catching leopard print. Rounding off the final design cues are the contrasting hits of red speckled throughout along with the “Sail” midsole and black rubber outsole.

Interested readers will be able to purchase the Nike Air Max 97 “Leopard Tongue” when it releases in the upcoming weeks via Nike.com and select retailers. Keep it locked to our Sneaker Release Dates Calendar for updates.
