Nike Air Max 97 'Black Dark Obsidian'

About this shoe

The Men's Nike Air Max 97 University Blue Sneakers in Black/Dark Obsidian/Pure Platinum paints the retro-inspired Air Max 97 in a dark colorway of Dark Obsidian, black, and University Blue with Pure Platinum accents. Inspired by the fluid design of Japanese bullet trains, the Black Dark Obsidian University Blue Nike Air Max 97 displays waving lines on the side panels—a heritage detail. Synthetic leather replaces genuine leather on the upper, reducing the overall weight and creating a contemporary feel. Other upper materials include durable textile and tightly woven mesh. A crystal-clear Air Max unit provides springy cushioning in the foam midsole, while the rubber outsole grips the ground. Our experts at StockX like the reflective details accenting the lines on the side panels. They provide subtle visibility in low lighting and highlight one of the sneaker’s defining features. The Men's Nike Air Max 97 University Blue Sneakers in Black/Dark Obsidian/Pure Platinum was released on November 1, 2022, and sold for $175.
