NIKE, NIKE AIR MAX 97 EM, SIZE 9
Rubber, Leather, Cotton, Synthetic
2007
In 2006, Nike collaborated with Eminem to host the Nike Charity Series, an initiative consisting of multiple global auctions featuring limited-edition Air Max sneakers designed by the rapper. The auctions aimed to support disadvantaged youths worldwide, with all proceeds shared between the Marshall Mathers Foundation and UNHCR's ninemillion.org campaign.
Eminem's vision extended to eight designs within the Air Max series, spanning from the iconic Air Max 1 '87, originally crafted by esteemed footwear designer Tinker Hatfield, to the cutting-edge Air Max 360. Among the 64 pairs of shoes manufactured for the Nike Charity Series, this particular model was exclusively made available through eBay auctions and at Niketown Paris, amplifying its rarity and desirability among sneaker enthusiasts and collectors.
This Air Max 97 is dressed in a combination of rich brown tones and constructed using a blend of premium materials. Complementing the brown upper, a translucent blue hue graces the 'Air' sole unit, matching the intricate blue striping details. Furthermore, vibrant orange accents adorn the heel tab, sidewall Swoosh panels, and insoles, introducing a bold and eye-catching splash of color to the overall design.
