The base version of Air Max 97 is made of white mesh, and it is accented by the Wolverine colorway's navy and maize accents. The former makes its presence known in a brazen manner throughout the tongue tag and leather mudguard, as well as the textile shoe liners and tugs, the Air support system, and, lastly, streaking through the rubber outsole. The yellow color is employed in a more restrained manner, contributing to just one medial streak and the branding for the Swoosh.

The key feature of the Nike Air Max 97 is its full-length visible Air unit, which provides cushioning and support for the feet. This air unit runs the length of the shoe, giving it a distinctive look and feel. The upper of the shoe is made from a variety of materials, including leather, mesh, and synthetic materials. This allows for a range of different colorways and textures, giving wearers plenty of options to choose from.
