The Nike Air Max 97 Midnight Navy Racer Pink Laser Orange (Women's) is inspired by and keeps heritage details from the original silhouette launched in 1997.
This dynamic sneaker for women builds upon an upper of airy, breathable white mesh. The AM97's trademark wavy strips of overlays land on the upper in shades of pale gray to white. The wavy mudguard overlay is crafted from textured navy-blue leather. A vertical white textile tab at the heel evolves into a pull loop like the one on the tongue, which makes it easier to get this pair of kicks on and off. A white foam midsole designed to provide optimal cushioning also houses a full-length air capsule for a springy bounce. This capsule is tinted orange. The rubber outsole is also orange, featuring grooves for flexibility and lugs for traction.
Our favorite stand-out detail of this bright, eye-catching women's sneaker is the side-panel miniature Nike Swoosh. Embroidered in yellow, this provides a subtle pop of contrast. The Nike Air Max 97 Midnight Navy Racer Pink Laser Orange (Women's) was released on February 22, 2019, for $160 retail.
