About this shoe

This Nike Air Max 97 Ultra 17 was designed by British-Nigerian artist, Skepta. Inspired by the original Air Tuned Max from 1999, they come in a multi-color, black and vivid sulfur colorway. Connecting Morocco to London, they feature an iridescent, polyutherane-coated, copper/rose gold leather upper with black sandwich mesh and an HF weld of the Swoosh logo (instead of an embroidered Swoosh) on the sides. Other details include: braided embroidery along the tongue and heel that reference the embellished sportswear Skepta saw locals wearing during trips to Morocco, custom printed insoles featuring Moroccan patterns that incorporate the Swoosh logo along with an "SK" logo that pays homage to the Air Max TN logo and is in the shape of a UK electrical outlet and a black sole with a yellow Max Air unit. The release date for the Skepta x Nike Air Max 97 Ultra 17 was September 2nd, 2017. They were available at select Nike Sportswear retailers worldwide in men's sizing, where they retailed for $180.
