The Nike Air Max 97 SE Evolution of Icons upgrades designer Tinker Hatfield’s signature sneaker from 1997 with an upper made of corduroy with leather overlays.

Released as part of the "Evolution of Icons" series, this special-edition sneaker pays tribute to iconic shoes from Nike’s catalog. For example, the use of Light Graphite across the upper is a throwback to the original sneaker’s colorway. This shoe boasts additional hidden inspirations. For example, the ribbing across the upper and the sleek silhouette were inspired by high-speed trains from Japan. The midsole houses a collection of visible Air Max units in a rainbow of colors, which represents Nike’s most iconic colorways.

Our StockX experts like the way the tongue logo tag matches the rainbow hues of the Air Max units. The Nike Air Max 97 SE Evolution of Icons was released on March 1st, 2021, and retailed at $180.
