If you live south of the equator and you’ve forgotten what it feels like to be warm, Nike’s Air Max 97 'Desert Sand' should jog your memory.

Like a desert horizon, its tan, dune-like waves rise to sky blue on the shoe’s upper reaches, giving the shoe an air of warmth without going full summer bright. The whole motif is capped off with a black sole and mini Swoosh for contrast and a subtle tan Air unit.

Counting down the days till warmer weather kicks in? Pick these up from Hanon now, to ease yourself into it.
