Nike's much-loved Air Max Futura '97 is updated in a version with a more artisanal feel, combining past and future and expertly blending layers of leather, fabric and suede, paying particular attention to comfort, design and durability. In fact, the visible Max Air unit extends the entire length, and an additional lift is added to make the stride even lighter. The hidden lacing system with laces is revisited, but the upper retains the fluid look of the original model.
