Nike Air Max 97 Triple Black
The Nike Air Max 97 Triple Black with style code BQ4567-001 is the stealthiest take on Christian Tresser's 1997 design. Famously inspired by ripples in water and the lines of Japanese bullet trains, the Air Max 97 was the first Nike runner with a full-length visible Air unit, and it remains one of the most recognisable silhouettes around. Dressed completely in black, this version turns the futuristic wave lines into a clean, understated statement. The full-length Air cushioning keeps it comfortable for long days in the city.
Colorway: Black / Black / Black
The Nike Air Max 97 Triple Black is finished in black from top to bottom. The layered upper combines mesh and synthetic panels in the signature wavy pattern, with subtle tonal differences in texture that keep the design interesting up close. Reflective piping along the lines catches light at night and gives the shoe a sharper edge after dark. A black midsole houses the full-length visible Air unit, and a black rubber outsole completes the monochrome look. Because it is fully black, BQ4567-001 is easy to wear with black denim, tracksuits, cargo pants or techwear, and it hides scuffs better than lighter colourways.
How does the Nike Air Max 97 Triple Black fit?
The Nike Air Max 97 Triple Black is known for a fairly snug, narrow fit. Many wearers find their regular Nike size works, but the toe box can feel tight, especially for wider feet. If you are between sizes, have wide feet or plan to wear thicker socks, going half a size up is a common choice. The full-length Air unit gives a firm but cushioned ride that feels stable on long walks.
