Nike Air Max 97 SE M. Frank Rudy

The Nike Air Max 97 SE M. Frank Rudy pays homage to the creator of Nike’s Air Max technology, Frank Rudy. The sneaker features a visible Air Max unit that spans the entire length of the shoe and comes with large transparent windows. The lettering "EST. 1997" references the release date of Air Max technology and can be found across the Max Air unit on the shoe’s lateral side. In addition, the sock liner displays Max Air schematics. Overlapping mesh and leather panels create a wavy pattern along the sides of the shoe. Although the colorway boasts Black and Summit White, the Safety Orange details encircling the lace cage catch the eye. Our experts like the incorporated reflective detailing, which provides visibility in low lighting. The Nike Air Max 97 SE M. Frank Rudy was released on March 9th, 2023, and retailed for a price of $185.
