Nike Air Max 97 OG (Metallic Silver/University Red-Black)

Founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, the Nike brand is almost synonymous with sneaker culture. As the company behind revolutionary styles like the Air Max series, Air Force 1’s and the Cortez, their arsenal of Swoosh adorned footwear is so vast, that their logo is now one of the most recognisable symbols on the planet.

Don’t forget the revolution. In 1987, the Air Max series was created: the first shoes with visible Air. What started as an experiment with cushioning quickly grew into an icon on the track — and on the street. Over the years, the design has been renewed time and time again, but the rich history remains. This late ’90s style represents the era of big, futuristic designs. The shoe stands out thanks to its reflective, flowing lines and silver grey colour inspired by Japanese bullet trains. It’s also one of the first to feature full-length Max Air cushioning.
