The Nike Air Max 97 ‘Volt’ Is Inspired by an Iconic Air Max 95 Colourway

One of the all-time greats from Nike’s prodigious Air Max catalogue, the Air Max 97 continues to be a popular choice for sneakerheads in 2023. Recently reappearing in its iconic ‘Silver Bullet’ colourway, the Air Max line has always been beloved for its OG colour palettes. The latest in-house AM97 iteration takes notes from an infamous colourway its older sibling’s known for – the Air Max 95 ‘Neon’.

The model features ‘Neon/Volt’ contrasting accents and a mix of leather, mesh and 3M reflective detailing. Whilst not a direct blow-by-blow remake of the OG ‘Volt’, the colourway nevertheless adopts much of what made the original iconic while adding new elements like violet hues.

Check out the gallery of official images, and look for the Air Max 97 ‘Neon’ to launch over the coming months at Nike and other selected retailers.
