It’s Spring, and naturally, bolder and brighter colors are very hot right now. Similarly, Nike’s Air Max 97 is lighting up with the sneaker community with its extended Retro run. What do you get when you combine the two? This AM97 “Miami Hurricanes”.


Nike has been chasing a certain aesthetic this year. With retro styling currently making a huge comeback in the form of dad shoes and bright clothing, the Swoosh is playing right into it thanks to their massive archives that are filled with some of the best retro gear around. The last several years of this have been dominated by the Air Max line, one of the brand’s strongest categories. Now, Nike is combining the power of the coveted Air Max 97 with a bold new color scheme for the summer. The new AM97 begins with a white mesh upper accented by grey stripes around the top levels. Next, the lower half of the shoe is covered in a new Rainforest Pantone, a teal or emerald-like color that invokes a tropical vibe. Finally, the new “Miami Hurricanes” Air Max 97 is finished off with a bold orange Air bubble and inner lining.
