First Look: Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Gold

Last seen in 2010, the Nike Air Max 97 OG is back in its original Metallic Gold colour scheme.

Just like the ‘Silver Bullet’ colourway, the Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Gold stays true to the original design. First launched in the early 90s, this ‘Gold’ theme became a cult icon and collectible sneak. Premium leather adorns the upper with that shimmering colourway contrasted by light beige detailing. That features the chunky tongue as well as the mesh below the leather. The full-length Air Unit which sits underfoot takes it right back to the old school, while the white midsole manages to balance the upper. To complete the look, a red mini Swoosh is stamped across the sidewall.

The Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Gold is available at selected retailers.
