The Nike Air Max 97 celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, and Nike marked the momentous occasion by releasing a handful of AM97 sneakers done up in new colorways. The Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Silver Chlorine Blue is one of the revamped AM97 models that was introduced to the world at this time.

This Air Max 97 features the same iconic design as the original AM97 did, which was inspired by bullet trains in Japan. But it creates some separation from the OG AM97 by featuring a splashy Metallic Silver color on the sneaker's mudguard and incorporating Chlorine Blue accents into the mix elsewhere.

Still, the things our sneaker experts love about this shoe are some of the same things they loved about it when it first came out in 1997. From its breathable mesh to its full-length Max Air unit, it looks every bit as stylish and technologically advanced today as it did back then. The Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Silver Chlorine Blue was released on August 5, 2022, and it initially retailed for $180.
