Air Max 97(6)

The Nike journey began with a pair of running trainers, so creating pro-quality running footwear is core to who we are. Our Nike Air Max 97 trainers give you the support you need to chase down your goal and power past it. Think durable outsoles that are made to go the distance with you. Lightweight, breathable uppers that help you stay cool and focused. And exceptional cushioning to protect your muscles and joints as you test your limits.

At the heart of our Air Max 97 trainer is our acclaimed Nike Air unit. It delivers the shock absorption you need to move with confidence. A springy, propulsive feel helps you power through tough challenges and demanding distances. Because it's filled with air, your footwear feels extra light. Plus, the supportive foam in the midsole is engineered to give you a cushioned, comfortable ride.

Because every athlete is unique, our Nike Air Max 97 trainers come with customisable design options. Start by selecting the materials for the upper, tongue and mudguard. Next, choose a palette that matches your personal style. Add contrasting details for maximum impact, or tonal shades for a more understated finish. You can even include personalised touches such as your name, initials or preferred pronouns. We'll build your trainers to your specifications and then ship them to you.

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport. Since 2008, we've made all our Nike Air units at our Oregon and Missouri facilities with at least 25% post-manufacturing waste. Plus, we repurpose old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets into high-performance yarn for our clothing. Ready to join us on our mission?
