Although Air Max Day is in the rearview and summer is fast approaching, much of the styles produced for the foundational sneaker holiday are still widely prominent in the months that follow. Nike’s Air VaporMax 97 hybrid is amassing a stellar amount of releases, many of which are of the OG variety.
There was the “Neon” aka “Japan” release followed swiftly thereafter by the beloved “Silver Bullet” OG. So, of course, where there is silver one will find gold. In this case it’s the forthcoming Nike Air VaporMax 97 “Metallic Gold”.
Like the “Silver Bullet” release earlier this month this one is a reinterpretation of an original Air Max 97 colorway. The upper appears in traditional fashion as one would expect. That thoughtful restoration is carefully juxtaposed atop VaporMax tooling, modernizing the 21-year old silhouette for contemporary specification.
Look for the “Metallic Gold” Air VaporMax 97 later this season.
