Nike Air Max 97Picante Red

Product Description

The Nike Air Max 97 Picante Red adds a spicy colorway of Picante Red and Guava Ice to the heritage Air Max 97 silhouette.

Inspired by the sleek designs and curving tracks of Japanese bullet trains, the Air Max 97 "Picante Red" features layers of overlapping leather and mesh overlays across the upper. These overlays come in Picante Red, white, Guava Ice, and light beige, and give the sneaker a fluid look inspired by the OG sneaker. Visible, full-length Air Max units underfoot provide a springy feel and offer a technical feature that complements the high-tech nature of bullet trains. The foam midsole protects against impact, while the durable rubber outsole provides traction.

Our experts like the Picante Red ‘air max’ branding on the heel pull tab because it reminds the wearer of the sneaker’s retro-roots. The Nike Air Max 97 Picante Red was released on July 22, 2023, and retailed at $185.
