Nike Air Max 97 OG – Atlantic Blue / Volt / Black / Wolf Grey

Nike Air Max 97 OG – Atlantic Blue / Volt / Black / Wolf Grey: Four Colours. One Original. Pure 1997.

Authentic. Layered. Unmistakably OG. The Nike Air Max 97 OG “Atlantic Blue / Volt / Black / Wolf Grey” is one of the most architecturally considered and historically faithful of the Air Max 97’s original 1997 colourways — a four-tone construction that builds the bullet-train silhouette from the ground up in Black suede, Wolf Grey reflective mesh, deep Atlantic Blue wave stripes, and a Wolf Grey collar, before igniting the entire construction with a single Volt Swoosh and a full Volt Air Max cushioning unit that blazes beneath the upper like a neon charge. This is the Air Max 97 exactly as Sergio Lozano designed it in 1997. Nothing added. Nothing changed. Everything original.

Key Features

• Wolf Grey Mesh Upper Collar & Top Layer – A soft Wolf Grey woven mesh covers the Air Max 97’s uppermost collar zone and top-layer panels in the colourway’s lightest and most luminous base tone — a cool, neutral grey that crowns the bullet-train construction’s stacked wave stripe layers and provides the colourway’s essential tonal anchor point at the upper’s highest surface, creating the clean grey collar entry that frames the Atlantic Blue wave stripes below and allows the full four-tone layered construction to read with maximum visual depth and chromatic separation from collar to outsole
• Atlantic Blue Multi-Layer Wave Stripe Construction – Deep Atlantic Blue leather and mesh panels cover the Air Max 97’s primary and secondary wave stripe construction in the colourway’s most commanding and tonally dominant mid-layer accent — a rich, saturated teal-blue that flows across the lateral and medial sides in the bullet-train silhouette’s signature multi-layer cascade, the Atlantic Blue stripes sitting between the Wolf Grey collar above and the Wolf Grey reflective lower panels below in a blue-and-grey wave stripe split that defines the colourway’s essential OG visual identity and delivers the most historically faithful Atlantic Blue wave stripe execution in the Air Max 97’s re-issue catalogue
• Wolf Grey Reflective Silver Lower Panels – Cool Wolf Grey reflective mesh and leather panels cover the Air Max 97’s lower vamp and quarter panel zone in a light-reactive, silver-toned material that echoes the grey collar’s tone at the lower level of the upper — a reflective surface treatment that adds a premium, visibility-enhancing quality to the lower panels and ensures the colourway’s grey identity wraps from the collar to the lower vamp in a symmetrical tonal frame that contains the Atlantic Blue wave stripes within the most precisely considered grey-blue-grey sandwich construction in OG Air Max 97 history
• Black Suede Toe Box & Heel Counter – A deep Black suede covers the Air Max 97’s toe box and heel counter in the colourway’s darkest and most grounding accent — a premium suede material that anchors the front and rear of the upper in the same commanding dark tone, framing the grey-blue wave stripe construction at both ends of the silhouette and providing the maximum tonal contrast against the Wolf Grey lower panels and the Volt Air unit below, the Black suede confirming the colourway’s four-tone credentials at the shoe’s most structurally prominent front and rear surfaces
• Volt Swoosh on Lateral Midfoot – A vivid Volt Nike Swoosh on the lateral midfoot delivers the colourway’s most electrically charged and immediately eye-catching accent — a saturated neon yellow-green that sits in maximum chromatic contrast against the Wolf Grey lower panel and the Atlantic Blue wave stripes above, functioning as the OG colourway’s essential neon charge that bridges the grey-blue upper and the Volt Air unit below and confirms the Swoosh as the design element most responsible for the Atlantic Blue colourway’s status as one of the most visually dynamic and historically authentic Air Max 97 OG configurations
• Volt Full-Length Air Max Cushioning Unit with Volt Outsole Accents – A vivid Volt full-length Air Max cushioning unit blazes beneath the four-tone upper in the colourway’s most energetically charged and visually explosive sole detail — the same saturated neon yellow-green as the lateral Swoosh filling the entire Air bubble in a high-voltage midsole statement that makes the Air Max 97’s most celebrated cushioning feature glow beneath the dark upper like a neon light, while matching Volt Swoosh detail on the outsole and Volt accent arcs along the outsole perimeter extend the neon energy to every surface of the sole construction, ensuring the Volt reads at every angle from upper Swoosh to ground-contact outsole
