The NIKE Air Max 97 LX (Luxury) is the definitive sneaker for those who love the classic running silhouette but demand premium materials and standout detailing. This shoe takes the original, wave-inspired design and elevates it with high-quality, often unique fabrics or textures (the “LX” designation), making it a true lifestyle statement. Featuring the iconic, full-length visible Max Air cushioning, the Air Max 97 LX delivers revolutionary comfort and a sleek, exclusive aesthetic that continues to set the standard for sneaker design.

Key Features & Benefits

• Full-Length Visible Max Air Unit: Features the legendary, visible Air cushioning that spans the entire length of the foot, delivering plush, responsive impact absorption and cloud-like comfort.
• Luxury (LX) Material Upgrade: Constructed with elevated materials—such as textured leather, velvet, or unique synthetics—offering a premium hand-feel and a distinctive, high-end look.
• Iconic Water Ripple Design: The upper features the signature wavy design lines inspired by Japanese bullet trains, ensuring an instantly recognizable, dynamic aesthetic.
• Hidden Lacing System: The innovative, concealed lacing provides a streamlined, modern look while ensuring a secure, customized fit.
• Durable Rubber Outsole: Features a waffled tread pattern, providing reliable, multi-surface traction and long-lasting durability for daily urban wear.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Material-Specific Care: Due to the mixed LX materials, use cleaning products specifically formulated for the respective fabric (e.g., a soft brush for suede/nubuck, a damp cloth for velvet).
• Midsole and Air Unit Focus: Regularly wipe the exposed Max Air window and rubber midsole with a clean cloth to prevent grime buildup and keep the cushioning visible.
• Avoid Soaking: Strictly hand-clean and allow the sneakers to air dry naturally to prevent damage to the upper materials or the integrity of the adhesive that holds the Air unit.
