The Top Sneaker Drops You Need to Know This Week
A look at this week’s most anticipated sneaker releases
Adidas Originals
Nike Air Max 97 “Atmosphere Grey”
Nike Inc
Release date: September 25
Price: $170
This isn’t the first time that Nike has applied a very visible theme to a silhouette. Originally released in 1997, the aptly named Nike Air Max 97 “Atmosphere Grey” had a strikingly noticeable theme: The Nintendo 64 gaming console. Sharing the same color scheme, Nintendo and Nike Air enthusiasts alike gravitated to the Air Max 97 when it originally released over two decades ago.

For this retro drop, The Nike Air Max 97 is given bold pops of color to complement the upper, tongue and air unit sole. With five different lacing options, this Air Max 97 is all about fun. As this sneaker is a cross between gamer nostalgia and sneakerhead culture, it will be no surprise if they sell out immediately.
