The story: The Nike Air Max 97/Plus is Nike's official hybrid silhouette — nicknamed "Max Mix" — combining the AM97 bubble midsole + the AM Plus (TN) upper w/ its signature flame/wave overlays. One of Nike's most successful Frankenstein Air Max builds from 2018 — you get 97 comfort w/ TN visual DNA. This Mica Green / Leche Blue / Barely Rose colorway is one of the cleaner pastel executions of the Max Mix concept.

Design details: Mica Green mesh + textile main upper w/ signature AM Plus wave/flame overlays, black neoprene interior tongue collar, small orange Nike Swoosh on tongue tab (orange pop against mint), Leche Blue tonal Swoosh + heel counter accent on rear, cream/Barely Rose AM97-style bubble midsole w/ visible full-length Air Max unit, black round laces, cream AM97 waffle box outsole.

Condition: Moderately Used — mica green upper mostly clean w/ colors still visible, wave/flame AM Plus overlays intact, black neoprene interior intact, small orange Swoosh tongue tag still bright, leche blue heel counter accent still visible, structure fully solid, some minor black scuff marks on toe box.

Honest disclosures:

• Cream/Barely Rose midsole shows heavy natural yellowing (typical 8-year cream sole aging pattern).

• Visible Air unit has green/aqua tint (was originally more clear — natural aging).

• Cream waffle box outsole shows significant dirt + wear in tread pattern zones — some smoothing on heel/forefoot high-wear areas but pattern still readable.

No original box.

Why this pair matters: The AM97/Plus "Max Mix" is a cult favorite Nike hybrid silhouette — the design language of both AM97 + AM Plus in one shoe. Mica Green / Leche Blue / Barely Rose is a clean pastel palette that hits the current Y2K aesthetic hard. Honest MU condition at accessibility pricing.
