A Blissful Colourway Hits the Nike Air Max 97

Summer may be coming to an end in the Northern Hemisphere, but that hasn't stopped the folks in Beaverton from dressing the in a new oceanic colourway. 's latest AM97 is dubbed the 'Ocean Bliss' and the look is blissful indeed. Here light blue mesh is coupled with obsidian-coloured leather and matching hits to the outsole, while white contrasts handle the rest of the tooling. The Swoosh also switched up the classic silhouette's branding — a continuing trend for Nike — by putting bold red 'Air Max' text on the full-length Max Air unit. Red also hits the tongue's new '97' branding, as well as the insoles.

The 'Ocean Bliss' Air Max 97 will hit Nike shelves sometime this season.
