In 1987, Nike changed the game with the Air Max 1. A decade later, the revolutionary torch was carried by the Air Max 97 as the Air Max line continued its success.

Nike is celebrating the icons on a one-of-a-kind crossover. Fittingly arriving on the 35th anniversary of the AM1 & the 25th of the AM97, the upcoming Air Max 97 is a must-have for Air Max fans. Inspired by the OG white & red Air Max 1, the latest Air Max 97 perfectly mirrors the 1987 classic with its all-white upper paired with grey details, red leather on the toe box, and finished off with a red Air unit. Staying true to the AM97, the 3M details remain intact.

A release date for the white & red Nike Air Max 97 has not been announced. However, we expect the colorway to release on Nike.com and select retailers in the upcoming weeks. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

Stay tuned to SoleSavy for more sneaker-related news from your favorite brands, including Nike.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
