Culture Note™
The Air Max 1/97 VF SW, a testament to collaborative innovation, emerged from Nike's 'Vote Forward' competition in 2017. This design, spearheaded by Sean Wotherspoon, was born from a desire to meld the iconic Air Max 97 upper with the foundational Air Max 1 sole. The release was strategically timed, hitting the market in March of 2018 across various regions, solidifying its place in sneaker history.
Primarily intended for casual, lifestyle wear, the Air Max 1/97 VF SW transcends mere functionality, becoming a statement piece. The design incorporates features such as frayed edges on the corduroy, designed to evolve with wear, and metallic lace tips, adding a layer of detail. The inclusion of four lace options and extra tongue patches in the box provides further customization. This versatility makes it suitable for various settings, from streetwear scenes to everyday use.
The Air Max 1/97 VF SW has undeniably etched its mark on popular culture, frequently seen on prominent figures. In March 2018, Chris Brown, during a stage performance, was spotted wearing the sneakers. Also, in March 2018, Travis Scott was seen sporting the Air Max 1/97 VF SW on the red carpet. LeBron James was also seen wearing the sneaker at an event. This widespread adoption by cultural tastemakers has solidified its status as a highly coveted item within the sneakerhead community.
The construction of the Air Max 1/97 VF SW is a masterclass in material selection and design. The upper boasts a multi-colored corduroy, embodying the wavy lines of the Air Max 97, complemented by velour and denim accents. Signature elements include interchangeable Velcro tongue patches, a mini Swoosh on the toe box, and the heel tab embroidery, 'VA to LA'. The inclusion of a visible Air Max unit in the sole ensures both comfort and visual appeal.
