Product Description
The Nike Air VaporMax 97 Metallic Gold (GS) is a grade-school sized hybrid sneaker that combines design elements from two iconic Nike models, taking the distinctive upper of the Air Max 97 and the innovative VaporMax sole unit.
The shoes have a metallic gold upper featuring distinctive wavy lines that run across, similar to the Japanese bullet trains, where the design takes inspiration from. It is made using a combination of textile and synthetic materials, which offer a comfortable and supportive fit. The sole unit is translucent and uses individual air pods instead of a traditional foam midsole for better flexibility and more agile movement due to their lightweight nature. They also have a heel and tongue pull tab for easier on and off.
One thing that stands out most on these shoes, according to our experts, is their hybrid nature, combining the best features of two highly popular Nike sneakers. The Nike Air VaporMax 97 Metallic Gold (GS) was released on May 17, 2018, retailing at $180.
