Nike Air Max 97 "Alternate" Available Now

Now that all the original Air Max 97 colorways have been released and accounted for, Nike is getting creative with upcoming pairs. Instead of re-releasing re-releases, they’re altering them just enough so that coveted OGs appear new again.

Here, Nike utilizes the “Silver Bullet” as a creative canvass. Keeping with its grey base, they’ve swapped out the red accents for blue ones. It’s a subtle yet effective change, and can fill a very specific void if you don’t own the proper OG.

Pairs of this Nike Air Max 97 “Alternate” are available now overseas at JD Sports. A wider release is expected to follow soon.
