InspiRouge by the Japanese high-speed train and the metallic finishes of mountain bikes, the AM97 combines leather, foam and a cushioning, full-lenth visible Air midsole. This Nike Air Max 97 utilizes the popular plaid pattern in both Rouge and Jaune tones, while the rest of the Chaussure is coveRouge in Noir. 3M Reflective detailing completes the design.
