Nike Air Max 97 OG – White / Metallic Silver / University Red “Silver Bullet”

Nike Air Max 97 OG “Silver Bullet” – White / Metallic Silver / University Red: The White Chapter of an Original Legend.

Pure. Luminous. Completely iconic. The Nike Air Max 97 OG “Silver Bullet” – White / Metallic Silver / University Red is the Air Max 97’s most pristine and chromatically refined OG configuration — the white-based companion to the legendary Gold Bullet, built on a crisp white leather upper with Metallic Silver mirror-finish wave stripes that catch and reflect light across the entire bullet-train silhouette, before a single University Red Swoosh delivers the same iconic warm accent that made the Gold Bullet one of the most celebrated sneakers in history. Silver on white. Red on silver. The Air Max 97 in its purest and most luminous OG form.

Key Features

• White Leather Upper Panels & Collar – A crisp, smooth white leather covers the Air Max 97’s upper collar zone, primary panels, toe box, and topmost construction layers in the colourway’s cleanest and most luminous base tone — a pristine white that provides the perfect bright canvas against which the Metallic Silver wave stripes deliver their full mirror-finish luminosity and the University Red Swoosh reads with maximum chromatic impact, the white leather’s immaculate smooth surface giving the bullet-train silhouette its most pristine and light-amplifying upper foundation and making this the brightest and most visually open of all the Air Max 97’s OG Silver Bullet configurations
• Metallic Silver Mirror-Finish Wave Stripe Construction – Vivid Metallic Silver mirror-finish leather panels flow across the Air Max 97’s signature multi-layer wave stripe construction in the colourway’s most premium and light-reactive material accent — a highly reflective, cool silver that covers the primary and secondary wave stripes across the entire lateral and medial silhouette in a tone that shifts from bright chrome to soft platinum as the light changes, the mirror-finish leather’s reflective surface amplifying the white upper’s luminosity in the most tonally unified and chromatically sophisticated silver-on-white wave stripe execution in the Air Max 97’s OG catalogue and delivering the bullet-train construction’s most prestigious and visually dynamic material treatment
• University Red Swoosh on Lateral Midfoot – A vivid University Red Nike Swoosh on the lateral midfoot delivers the colourway’s single and most celebrated warm accent — the same iconic University Red that appeared on the Gold Bullet’s lateral panel, here placed against a Metallic Silver wave stripe background in a warm-on-cool contrast that is both more surprising and more chromatically precise than its gold counterpart, the University Red Swoosh functioning as the Silver Bullet’s most historically resonant and visually unforgettable branding detail and the single element most responsible for the colourway’s status as a direct and equal OG companion to the Gold Bullet in the Air Max 97’s most storied colour chapter
• White Tongue Badge with University Red Swoosh Icon – A circular white tongue badge carries a small University Red Nike Swoosh icon at the shoe’s most prominent front-facing branding surface — a heritage tongue detail that delivers the colourway’s red accent in its most condensed and precisely placed front-of-shoe presentation, the white badge with red Swoosh echoing the colourway’s essential white-and-red chromatic pairing in miniature at the tongue’s centre and ensuring the University Red reads at the shoe’s front-facing profile as clearly and precisely as it does at the lateral Swoosh branding position
• White Flat Laces & White Pull Tab – Clean white flat laces thread through the eyelet system in the colourway’s most tonally consistent and pristinely unified lacing treatment — a full-white lace that maintains the upper’s immaculate white identity across the lacing zone without introducing any contrasting tone that would interrupt the colourway’s clean white-and-silver tonal unity, while a matching white woven heel pull tab at the rear provides the shoe’s most functional rear detail in the same pristine white tone, ensuring the white reads at every surface level from toe box to lace tip to heel in the most comprehensively unified and tonally faithful OG white upper treatment
• Metallic Silver Translucent Air Max Cushioning Unit & White Midsole Frame – A semi-translucent Metallic Silver full-length Air Max cushioning unit sits within a crisp white midsole frame in the colourway’s most premium and light-reactive sole detail — the translucent silver-tinted Air chamber glowing beneath the white-and-silver upper in a cool, jewel-like midsole window that extends the wave stripe’s Metallic Silver identity into the sole construction in the most tonally faithful and historically authentic OG Air unit presentation, the translucent silver Air bubble and white midsole frame together creating the colourway’s most luminous and chromatically pure sole construction and completing the Silver Bullet’s full white-silver-red colour story from upper to outsole

White. Silver. Red. Original. The Nike Air Max 97 OG Silver Bullet is the white companion to the Gold Bullet that proved the Air Max 97’s bullet-train silhouette was equally iconic in any base colour — as long as the silver wave stripes caught the light and the red Swoosh found its place. If the Gold Bullet named the 97, the Silver Bullet perfected it. Own the white. Own the silver. Own the red. Own the original. Own the 97.
