The Air Max 97's upper is inspired by water droplets falling into water. The waves that run across the sneakers represent the ripples created by the impact of water droplets.
 
Nike has given the 'Silver Bullet' a silver mesh sole. Additionally, silver and white leather outline the muguards. Above is a wavy overlay made of 3M material, which is reflective. A red mini Swoosh is placed on the tongue and the middle panel.
 
Underneath the white midsole is an Air unit that runs throughout the sole. A black outsole with white and red details completes the sporty design.

The sneaker also comes in WMNS and GS sizing.
