Apart from its classic colorway, let’s not ignore its intricate details. Check out the white flame emoji etched onto the mid-panel where the brand’s customary mini-Swoosh should be. Instead, we can see the iconic Swoosh moved to the mudguard, while another flame emoji appears by the underfoot.
According to SneakerNews, it’s priced around $170 USD. No news if the “White Hot” Air Max 97 will hit our local stores. There’s no definite release date as well. But it’s possible we can expect this pair dropping on Air Max Day this March, maybe even sooner if we’re lucky.
In the meantime, let’s keep an eye on our fave sneaker leaks Twitter accounts, or the actual Nike website (if you’re feeling obedient).
