The popular “South Beach” colour scheme takes on a whole new twist in this Nike Air Max 97. The Nike Air Max 97 “Silver Beach Pink/Teal” makes use of the silhouette’s reflective panels; a premium touch that never goes out of style on any pair of the AM97.
While the South Beach theme originated in Miami, Florida, the classic pink and teal colour blocking became distinct and recognisable. These vibrant hues took inspiration from the lively nightlife in the city as beaches and shops adorn the area. The South Beach scenery encouraged tourists and other cultures to pay a visit and enjoy its glorious lifestyle.
South Beach” colourways have been around for a long time. Some of the most popular sneakers featuring Pink and Teal are the LeBron James signature models. Ever since LBJ joined the Miami Heat in 2010, various “South Beach” makeovers have been released. These colours eventually made their way to other Nike silhouettes, thus becoming a mainstay offering.
The Nike Air Max 97 is one of the most advanced Air Max trainers around. Even after decades since its release, the wavy upper and full-length Air Max unit remain popular. Reflective details along the wavy lines also allowed the shoe to shine in proper lighting conditions.
Designed by Christian Tresser, the Air Max 97’s main source of design inspiration is the ripples of water. Metallic details on the shoe also pay homage to Tresser’s love for mountain biking.
As the first Nike shoe to utilise full-length Air Max, the AM 97 became a staple option in lifestyle and streetwear culture. The immense comfort you get from Air is just too good, you can’t find it anywhere else.
With the Air Max 97‘s 25th anniversary in 2022, the model brings forth new and iconic colourways. One of the new colourways to expect is this “Silver Beach Pink/Teal” rendition. Featuring a silver-like grey mesh and leather upper, the wavy lines combine pink and teal to match the air pillars inside the shoe.
Expect more details as we approach the sneaker’s official launch.
