Released as part of ‘The Ten’ collection from November 2017, Virgil Abloh’s take on the AM97 focuses on the shoe’s upper. The retro runner’s translucent build serves to tone down the visual impact of its signature wavy lines, so that the eye is drawn to the overall shape instead. The typo stamped on the lateral side serves as a reminder of the technical innovation inherent in the '97 – the first N1ke silhouette to feature a full-length AM unit.
