Nike’s Air Max Plus 97 is an interesting collision of iconic Air Max styles. Combining the speedy striped upper of the Air Max 97 with the unique midsole of the Air Max Plus, it melds the best details from two fervently followed sneakers together to form a new-age look, with instantly recognizable roots in both running and casual style. Since being introduced earlier this year, the Air Max Plus 97 has typically been done up in whimsical combinations of bright colors, but now it’s arrived in a classic “Triple Black” that’s sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most hardened OG roadman. Everything from the layered uper to the small hits of branding are dressed in black, but a minimal touch of color forces its way through via a gold heel Air Max unit and a smattering of gold detailing on the outsole. If you like the toned-down look offered by these Maxes, they’re available now at Foot Locker.
