Similar to the way the forthcoming nike air max 97 silver bullet modernizes its original AM 90, the womens-focused Air Max 97 premium is a generational evolution of its OG Air Verona model from 1992. After making its global debut during NBA All-Star Weekend, it’s ready to expand upon its color catalog with this all new darker makeover slated to release next month. Steering away from its brighter-hued uppers that laid upon its introductory colorways, this latest version dyes its base constructions in plain black, leaving ample room for complementary notes of color to attract attention of their own. These AM Veronas deliver an interesting dichotomy of soft and saturated accents. The former is presented through muted pastel greens along the heel overlays, while the latter sees through via neon pinks and oranges employed through the tongues, lace loops, and heel tabs. Additionally, the enlarged Air unit inspired the Air Max 200, features a combination of the aforementioned pink and green tones, but converges them in gradient fashion. For female Nike fans looking to add these to their wardrobe, they will be dropping on March 19th likely on Nike.com and at select retailers for $140 USD.
