Nike is celebrating Puerto Rico with an upcoming Nike Air Max 97. With National Puerto Rican Day Parade on the horizon, the Swoosh is showing love to all the Boricuas out there.

The upcoming Nike Air Max 97 “Puerto Rico” features the flag on the tongue loop and the outsole of the pair as well. A combination of navy and varsity red dress up the metallic silver pair as “Silver Bullet” vibes heavily influence the upcoming colorway.

The Puerto Rico and Nike relationship isn’t new, of course. With Nike Air Force 1s releasing in the early 2000s and even the recently scrapped pair due to the backwards flag, Nike is looking to get things right with the upcoming pair. However, the flag is facing vertically rather than horizontally on the top of the tongue and the flag on the shoe’s outsole may not be the best idea. Regardless, the pair is still symbolically great for Puerto Ricans looking to showcase their heritage.

The Nike Air Max 97 “Puerto Rico” releases on June 5 for $175 on SNKRS and select retailers. As always, our release day strategy and monitors will have members ready for drop day.

Keep it locked for more Nike news, and head over to SoleSavy to learn more about the most genuine sneaker community out there and how to buy releases like this one.

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
