Dressed in a “Metallic Hematite” color scheme, the throwback runner features a somber core black palette with subtle splashes of red landing on the outsole, heel tab, and inner Swoosh branding. The metallic detailing found on the upper, not only benefits nighttime run sessions, but stylistically differentiates itself from previous AM97 all-black drops seen earlier this year. Although price has still yet to be confirmed, the Nike Air Max 97 “Metallic Hematite” is bound for an online release come January 6th. –HB
This time donning a darker steel gray scheme, the Presto stays true to its signature design, featuring a mesh/neoprene upper with metallic finishes at the heel cage and toe tip as well as a luster effect material at the tongue, vamp and collar. Other special details include blue-grey laces, embroidered Swoosh branding at the toe and embossed Presto insignia at the cage. A full-length white Phylon midsole and reinforced black Duralon heel outsole give a fresh hit of contrast while providing support and comfort for everyday wear. –HB
