Nike Air Max 97 – White / Clear Jade / Sea Glass / Mint Foam

Nike Air Max 97 – White / Clear Jade / Sea Glass: The Ocean Floor, Elevated.

Refined. Luminous. Unmistakably premium. The Nike Air Max 97 “White / Clear Jade / Sea Glass / Mint Foam” is one of the most texturally sophisticated and tonally serene colourways in the Air Max 97’s modern catalogue — a multi-material construction that layers crisp white leather wave stripes over a silver-grey leopard-print embossed lower panel, then draws the entire shoe together with a single vivid Clear Jade wave stripe that flows like a jade seam through the silhouette. Anchored below by a rare translucent lime-green gradient Air Max unit and finished with Mint Foam accents, this is the Air Max 97 as a precision-crafted luxury object. Cool, coastal, and completely unforgettable.

Key Features

• White Leather Upper Wave Stripe Panelling – Clean, smooth white leather panels cover the Air Max 97’s upper wave stripe construction and collar in the colourway’s primary and most luminous base tone — a pristine white that sits in precise, high-contrast relief above the silver leopard-print lower panels, giving the bullet-train silhouette its most dramatic and tonally considered upper split and allowing the Clear Jade accent stripe between them to deliver its full chromatic energy with absolute clarity against both the white above and the silver below
• Silver-Grey Leopard-Print Embossed Leather Lower Panels – The Air Max 97’s toe box, lower vamp, and quarter panel are covered in a silver-grey leather with a full leopard-print embossed surface texture — a luxuriously tactile material treatment that gives the shoe’s lower panels an extraordinary depth and surface richness while maintaining the colourway’s cool, tonal silver-white palette, the animal-print emboss adding a premium material narrative to the silhouette’s most grounded and structurally foundational panels
• Clear Jade Single Accent Wave Stripe – A vivid, jewel-toned Clear Jade leather wave stripe runs the full length of the lateral and medial sides as the colourway’s defining and most visually striking single accent — a deep, saturated teal-green that cuts through the white-and-silver upper construction like a jade vein through marble, providing the bullet-train silhouette’s wave stripe cascade with its most luxurious and colour-precise single-stripe execution and making this the most gemstone-inspired colourway in the Air Max 97’s multi-material catalogue
• Mint Foam Swoosh & Tongue Pull Tab – A soft Mint Foam Nike Swoosh on the lateral midfoot and a matching Mint Foam fabric heel pull tab carry the colourway’s lightest and most delicate green accent at the shoe’s two most prominent branding and functional surfaces — a pale, cool mint that echoes the Clear Jade stripe’s green energy in a softer, more whispered tone and ensures the colourway’s green identity is present from Swoosh to heel without ever overpowering the white-and-silver material story of the upper
• Translucent Lime-Green Gradient Air Max Cushioning Unit – The shoe’s most rare and visually spectacular sole detail — a full-length Air Max cushioning unit rendered in a translucent, semi-clear lime-to-green gradient that glows beneath the entire upper in a jewel-like, colour-shifting sole window, the translucent material revealing the Air chamber within in a vivid chartreuse-to-jade colour shift that makes the midsole feel simultaneously technical and luxurious, and confirms this as one of the most visually complex and premium sole constructions in the Air Max 97’s entire catalogue
• Black Rubber Outsole with Classic Grid Traction – A deep black rubber outsole with the Air Max 97’s signature square-grid multi-directional traction pattern grounds the shoe’s luminous white-and-jade colour story with its darkest and most graphically bold sole anchor — a classic black outsole that provides maximum tonal contrast beneath the translucent lime gradient midsole, making the Air unit’s colour-shifting transparency even more visually dramatic while delivering reliable grip on pavement, concrete, and everyday urban surfaces

Jade. Silver. Sea glass light. The Nike Air Max 97 White / Clear Jade / Sea Glass is a shoe built not just to be worn but to be studied — a colourway that rewards close inspection at every level, from the leopard emboss on the lower leather to the colour shift in the translucent gradient Air unit below. The most gemstone-inspired Air Max 97 ever made. Own the jade. Own the gradient. Own the 97.
