Air Max 97 LX
A new Air Max 97 model is coming very soon.

What more can be said about the Air Max 97? It is easily one of the most iconic and easily recognizable silhouettes in the Air Max library. While the shoe had a bit of a lull for a bit, Nike reignited the hype surrounding the shoe by releasing the OG "Silver Bullet" and "Gold" colorways just a couple of years ago. It seemed as though these colorways would be restocked every few months and would sell out each and every time. It was then that Nike made sure to release as many new colorways as possible, and are now releasing a new version of the sneaker, named the Nike Air Max 97 LX.

If you're a fan of the Air Max 97, then you know the upper of the shoe is typically made of mesh. In this version, the upper is reminiscent of the Foamposite's upper and comes in stylish khaki green. There is also black leather on the toe box, with a yellow Nike swoosh and yellow air bubble on the midsole.
