The Women’s Nike Air Max 97 is regarded as one of the greatest Air Max running shoe designs. Originally released in 1997, the Air Max 97 was the first Nike shoe to feature a full-length visible Air unit from heel to toe. It’s truly a masterpiece for both its technology and style. The Air Max 97 was designed by Christian Tresser, the Nike designer behind many memorable Nike running shoes of the late 1990s. The AM97 is renowned for its bold wavy design across the upper, reflective accents, minimal branding, and large Air bubble that keeps you walking on air all day long.
