The Nike Air Max 97 Summit White Light Photo Blue is an athletic shoe defined by its curved, linear overlays in Court Blue and Light Photo Blue, which encircle the lace panel and heel. A Summit White mesh fabric base is grounded by Summit White leather that meets the midsole in the same tone. The Court Blue outsole displays the full-length transparent Air unit, and the Swoosh in Black appears on the sides and tongue. Finishing the look are Air Max-branded heel and tongue tabs.
American athletic wear company Nike has blazed the trail for sneaker evolution since the 1980s and prior. While performance geared with its full-length Air unit, Nike designer Christian Tresser envisioned the Air Max 97’s outward curving silhouette after watching the ripple effect of droplets hitting still water.
Our experts feel that the best feature of the Air Max 97 is its sole, which emphasizes the style’s water inspiration and has an AIR unit. The Nike Air Max 97 Summit White Light Photo Blue was released on June 1, 2024, and retailed at $175.
