It’s definitely dark and cold outside, but Spring is only around the corner. To help combat our winter blues, Nike are readying us for the warmer temperatures ahead with the continuation of their "Sprung" collection. Joining the Air Sprung "Purple" Air Force 1 is the Nike Air Max 97 Air Sprung "Beige Purple" which puts a playful spin on the fan-fave AM97 silhouette.

Made up of a mix of tumbled leather, canvas and burlap, the "Beige Purple" Air Sprung AM97 takes on a "Sail," purple and pink colourway, with the neutral-coloured, mixed-material base giving way to a fuchsia wave and purple Swoosh, AM 97 logo, heel tab and laces. Underfoot, a white midsole houses a purple-tinted visible air unit, and a gum outsole ties the colourway together.

Like the other "Sprung" releases, the "Beige Purple" Air Sprung '97 comes with characterful butterfly and caterpillar patches, with a caterpillar wrapped around the lateral Swoosh. A cute mushroom motif appears underfoot.

We’re yet to hear of a release date for the "Beige Purple" Air Sprung Air Max 97, but we’d imagine them to release along with other "Sprung" styles in Spring 2022. Until then, make sure to keep it locked for more updates as they come in.

Up next, these Nike Jordan 1s are made with recycled materials.
