After first appearing earlier this year in a recognizable Air Max Day-style colorway, the kids-sized Nike Air Max 97 RFT is back in grey and black, with its signature lace toggle still firmly intact. Apart from the extra dash of technical style that’s provided by the adjustable black toggle that runs the length of the throat, these Nike shoes present a look that’s all the way classic AM97. The upper’s base layer is constructed of a sporty grey mesh, while black leather is used on the bullet train-inspired overlays. The only deviation comes via the strip directly above the mudguard, which provides a dash of metallic silver for contrast. Down below a white EVA foam midsole houses a black Air Max cushioning unit, and a translucent outsole completes the look. These slightly-shrunken 97s are available now for $160 USD, so check out a store list directly below to see where you can secure a pair.
