The Air Max 97 'Triple White' is the most minimal and tonally unified entry in the AM97 lineup — a full white-on-white construction that uses the AM97's three-band horizontal wave-stripe architecture as a material study rather than a colour study: all three stripe bands are white, but each is executed in a distinct material — iridescent mesh, smooth leather, and perforated leather — creating a tonal white upper where the visual interest comes entirely from material texture and light interaction rather than colour contrast. The defining material detail is the iridescent mesh at the quarter panel: a white mesh textile with a subtle iridescent finish that shifts between white, pale blue, and pale purple under direct light, giving the shoe a quiet, luminous quality that distinguishes it from a standard triple-white colourway. The only non-white colour detail on the shoe is the ice blue ankle collar lining — a pale, almost-white ice blue textile lining visible at the collar interior, providing a barely-there colour accent that is only visible when the shoe is worn or the collar is opened. The full-length transparent clear AM97 Air unit at the heel completes the clean, uninterrupted white aesthetic — a clear, untinted Air unit that maintains the all-white visual continuity from upper through midsole to outsole.

The upper is built on a white perforated leather base: the toe box and lower lateral and medial overlay panels are white perforated leather with a dense small-circle perforation pattern. The quarter panel main body is white iridescent mesh — a white mesh textile with a subtle iridescent finish that shifts between white, pale blue, and pale purple under direct light. Three AM97 horizontal wave stripe bands run across the full lateral and medial upper: the upper stripe is white iridescent mesh; the middle stripe is white smooth leather; the lower stripe is white perforated leather — all white, separated by white leather divider strips, creating a tonal white material-texture gradient. A white Swoosh embroidery is on the tongue's circular white perforated leather badge. The tongue is white with a circular white perforated leather badge. The ankle collar exterior is white leather; the ankle collar interior lining is ice blue/pale blue textile — the only non-white colour detail on the shoe. The heel counter is white leather with no pull tab. The full-length midsole is white, with a large-volume full-length transparent clear AM97 Air cushioning unit at the heel — untinted, maintaining the all-white visual continuity. The midsole bottom edge is white. The full white AM97 outsole features an X-block and square traction pattern in white rubber — a full triple-white outsole with no colour contrast. White flat laces complete the look.
