Nike Air Max 97 QS Nintendo 64

The year was 1997. Nike’s Air Max 97 has just released to a receptive audience, who appreciated the Christian Tresser-designed silhouette’s sleek lines and speedy shape. A sleek grey is used as the base for a nod to the 64’s controller, while the mudguard features a tonal triangular print, encouraging you to get your game on. Green, blue, red, and yellow accents are then dispersed throughout the upper, midsole, and outsole, acknowledging both the colors of the controller’s buttons and the N64 logo. Three small dots grace the front pull tab for an ultra-clever nod to the tri-pronged controller jack on the system’s front, while the left and right tongue badges are equipped with “Reset” and “Power” hits, two motifs any Nintendo fan is sure to be familiar with.
