Nike Air Max 97: Inspired by Speed and Fluidity
Revolutionary Design
Released in 1997 and designed by Christian Tresser, the Nike Air Max 97 was inspired by the sleek, flowing lines of Japanese bullet trains. Its futuristic design introduced a fully visible Air cushioning system, running along the entire length of the sole, which revolutionized sneaker technology and aesthetics.
Innovative Features
The Air Max 97’s wavy upper, constructed from a mix of mesh and synthetic materials, not only enhances breathability but also gives the shoe its iconic layered look, making it a favorite for both athletes and streetwear fans.
