To others, that might not matter at all.Here’s my Nike Air Max 97 golf shoes review. Perhaps what might matter most to some is the price, and Nike has not yet made that information available. Nike is electing for a pretty low-profile, soft-spike look that directly matches many of Nike’s golf shoes, like the Air Max 1 G. Seemingly the only difference is the tread on the outsole. ![]() According to HypeBeast, these shoes were originally nicknamed “Le Silver” by Italian fans who went crazy for the shoe during its original run. One of the most popular was the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” which was released in different colorways throughout 2019.Īs for the Air Max 97 G, the first colorway will be the most classic: silver.
