Enter The Matrix With The Nike Air Max 97 'Green Glow'

1999's 'The Matrix' has affected the world in more ways than one. Transforming the action movie industry and the fashion scene, it's also made a huge impact on the sneaker game too - something that is evident with the brand new Nike Air Max 97 'Green Glow'.

Featuring a stealthy black upper that's decked out in leather and mesh, when you take a closer look, you'll find a bunch of English and Chinese characters lasered in vertically, kind of like the code used in the critically acclaimed Wachowski film. Digitised “97” tongue badges and “air max” heel tabs also make an appearance, but the AM97 has even more up its sleeve.

Down below, you'll find the classic full length Air unit for extreme comfort with every step. This is lined with a bright green rubber outsole that actually glows in the dark, meaning you can flex in low light conditions. While this may sound like a gimmick at first, it's actually one of the biggest sneaker trends of 2019, working its magic on shoes such as the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 'GID' and the upcoming Travis Scott x Air Jordan 6.

The Nike Air Max 97 'Green Glow' is available now over in the US, with a European release coming in the very near future. If you want a pair, make sure you keep it locked at @thesolerestocks on Twitter and we'll let you know as soon as these hit the UK!
