Though the Nike Air Max 97 “Playstation 3″ does not feature any obvious Sony or Playstation branding, like the official Nike Air Max 90/360 and Nike Air Force 1 collabs, the upper on the Nike Air Max 97 does features Black patent which is reminscent of the glossy Black finish on the PlayStation 3 and Metallic Green/Red/Yellow hits at the midfoot and along the upper which is remiscent of the PlayStation logo.

Here is a detailed look at the Nike Air Max 97 “Aqua” which are receiving mixed feelings from Air Max lovers. While some are bashful and say that the new Nike Air Max 97 do not compare to the OG Nike Air Max 97´s released in the past. The positive side on the other hand actually commends Nike for stepping their game up with the colorful stitching scheme throughout the shoe. The colorful stitching seems to be the focal point as they stand out over the all white colorway. The Nike Air Max 97 Aqua (White / Aqua) are going to be hitting stores really soon, so stay tuned!

The Nike Air Max 97 had to be good with its predecessors being the Nike Air Max 95, the under appreciated 94 and 93, the incredible Nike Air Max 180, the Nike Air Max 90, the Nike Air Max Light and the unbeatable Nike Air Max 87. It had quite a name to live up to. And it did!

I can still remember my pair!!

Back in 2005 Nike released a limited edition of the Nike Air Max 97’s “All Silver”. And now it has been restyled “and it is back!” There is a bit more silver than the silver surfer is, but they look brilliant. The Nike Air Max 97’s “All Silver” for 2007 will be a UK exclusive release. Something to look out for.
