Nike Air Max 97 – Sequoia / University Gold / Team Orange: Autumn's Most Commanding Colourway

Deep. Warm. Utterly confident. The Nike Air Max 97 “Sequoia / University Gold / Team Orange / University Red” is the Air Max 97’s definitive autumnal colourway — a rich, forest-floor palette that grounds a clean white upper in deep Sequoia olive green, then ignites the wave stripe construction with a cascading three-colour sunset sequence of University Red, Team Orange, and University Gold that flows from heel to toe like the last light of an autumn evening. Heritage sport colours. Nature’s richest season. The Air Max 97’s most instinctively seasonal colourway, realised to perfection.

Key Features

• White Leather Upper with Sequoia Olive Lower Panels – Clean white leather mesh covers the Air Max 97’s upper collar and toe box in a crisp, light-reflective base, while deep Sequoia olive green leather panels command the lower vamp, quarter panel, and heel counter in the colourway’s darkest and most grounding earth tone — a white-on-dark-green split that gives the bullet-train silhouette its most dramatic tonal contrast and allows the three-colour wave stripe cascade between them to deliver its full autumnal chromatic impact
• University Red / Team Orange / University Gold Three-Colour Wave Stripe Cascade – The Air Max 97’s signature multi-layer bullet-train wave stripe construction is executed here in a vivid three-tone sunset sequence — University Red at the lowest stripe, Team Orange in the centre, and University Gold at the upper stripe — cascading from heel to toe across both the lateral and medial sides in a warm-to-warm colour gradient that echoes the rich, saturated tones of autumn foliage and delivers the most visually dramatic and seasonally resonant wave stripe arrangement in the Air Max 97’s modern catalogue
• University Gold Swoosh on Lateral Midfoot – A vivid University Gold Nike Swoosh on the lateral midfoot delivers the brand’s identity in the wave stripe cascade’s warmest and most luminous accent tone — a bold, saturated gold that reads with maximum clarity against the dark Sequoia olive lower panel and perfectly bridges the gap between the shoe’s cool dark green base and its warm orange-and-red wave stripe accent construction, confirming the University Gold Swoosh as the colourway’s most precisely chosen branding detail
• “air max” Woven Heel Pull Tab with Orange Typography – A white woven heel pull tab carries the vertical “air max” wordmark in University Gold and Team Orange typography — a heritage branding detail that delivers the Air Max 97’s most iconic text logo at the shoe’s most visible rear surface in a warm, two-tone colour treatment that mirrors the wave stripe’s gold-and-orange palette and grounds the colourway’s rear view with its most refined and deliberately sport-heritage typographic accent
• Sequoia Olive Green Outsole with University Gold Air Window Swoosh – A deep Sequoia olive green rubber outsole with the Air Max 97’s signature square-grid multi-directional traction pattern grounds the shoe’s full colour story in its darkest and most commanding earth tone, while a University Gold Nike Swoosh emblem is embedded within the central oval Air window of the outsole — a premium hidden detail that extends the gold accent from the lateral Swoosh all the way to the shoe’s sole base and rewards close inspection with the colourway’s most precisely placed golden accent
• Translucent Ice Air Max Cushioning Unit with University Red Heel Accent – A semi-translucent full-length Air Max cushioning unit provides the shoe’s clean, icy midsole window, while a University Red curved accent line on the lateral heel midsole echoes the wave stripe’s lowest and most deeply saturated red stripe all the way to the sole — a heel-level colour detail that ensures the colourway’s three-colour warm palette is present at every level of the shoe from upper wave stripe to ground-contact outsole

Forest. Flame. Gold. The Nike Air Max 97 Sequoia / University Gold / Team Orange / University Red is the shoe that autumn was made for — a colourway that draws its entire palette from the season’s richest and most saturated natural tones and wears them with the effortless authority of a silhouette that has been doing this since 1997. Own the forest. Own the flame. Own the 97.
