Nike adopting an idea, and subsequently releasing sole swapped sneakers, was almost unfathomable at one point in time. But in modern-day sneaker culture adaptability is critical, as the ever changing market and its equally shifting consumer base require it.
The Nike Air Max Plus 97 is proof that the Swoosh is of-the-times in their own unique way, offering a 20th anniversary Air Max 97 upper juxtaposed alongside Air Max Plus midsole tooling. Not quite the Frankenstein of sneakers as only two components champion this hybrid, it does represent a marker in time for which we could look back as a jumping off point for a new way of thinking where Nike is concerned.
