Nike Air Max 97

The Air Max 97 was designed with the runner entirely in mind. The full-length visible air unit provided enough cushioning to comfort high-impact runners, and keep casual wearers feeling light on their feet, too. The AM97 maintained the layered look from the AM95, but offered a sleek look with its metallic coloring. And the 3M stripe wrapping around the shoe gave the sneaker even more flash.
