Nike's Air Max Sneakers Arrive in a USA Colorway Option
Nike launched two new Air Max sneaker models in a patriotic USA colorway in time for Memorial Day weekend and to celebrate the Fourth of July later this summer. The sportswear label takes the Air Max 97 silhouette as well as the Air Max 270 silhouette and adorns the familiar models in hues of white, red, and blue.
The Air Max 97 is complete in a mesh material at the uppers before it is overlaid with leather materials to give it its signature wavy lines around the side panels. It then sits on top of a clear Air sole unit around the midsole area and finished off with a branded pull tab. The Air Max 270 follows the same color palette with a large Air Unit at the heel and mesh construction for breathability.
