Story / Inspiration

The Air Max 97 arrived in 1997 as one of the most futuristic designs of its era — a silhouette so ahead of its time it still turns heads today. Designed by Christian Tresser and inspired by Japanese bullet trains, the 97 introduced the first full-length Air unit in a running shoe, wrapping the entire midsole in visible cushioning.

This Black and Red Tribute Build takes the 97’s iconic wave structure and turns up the intensity — all black, cut through with red, built for those who wear their energy on their feet.
