Nike Air Max 97 M. Frank Rudy Safety Orange

Taking on an official color makeup of Summit White/Black-Safety Orange, this special colorway of the Nike Air Max 97 pays homage to Marion Franklin Rudy, the engineer who created Nike’s iconic Air technology, which debuted on the Nike Air Tailwind back in 1978, and in 1980, he patented the tech to further cement the Swoosh as a giant in the footwear business. A combination of mesh, leather, and suede cover this Air Max 97 with design highlights including blueprint insoles showing off the technology artwork and Rudy’s signature, his name on the lace tips, EST. 1997 printed on the lateral Air unit, and an air pressure hangtag.
