The Nike Air VaporMax 97 "Japan" (Style: AJ7291-001) is a striking hybrid sneaker released in March 2018 as part of Nike's annual Air Max Day celebrations. This design seamlessly blends the past and the present by taking the classic, water-ripple upper of the 1997 Air Max 97—dressed in its coveted, vintage "Japan" colour way of black, white, and metallic silver—and placing it atop a modern, full-length translucent volt-green VaporMax sole unit.
