This latest Air Max 97 CR7 may be the perfect addition to the Sultan of Stepover’s collection — or anyone’s collection for that matter.Back in October,reported on a pair of Nike Air Max 97s that was specifically created for Portuguese and Real Madrid C.F. superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Now, another pair of exclusive Air Max 97 CR7s have been announced and it will be available to the public via Nike SNKRS.Dubbed ‘Portugal Patchwork,’ the shoe pays homage to both Portugal and patchwork. Portugal is where Ronaldo grew up as an impoverished youth and because of that lifestyle, he was forced to only two pairs of shoes: one for school and one for play.While the school shoe was kept pristine, the play shoe was usually trashed and filled with holes. Because Ronaldo’s family couldn’t afford more sneakers, his mother would patch it up, hence the name. The new shoe shows just how far Ronaldo has come.

If you’re looking for an Air Max 97 that won’t overpower your outfit, then Cadysport have you covered. The late-90s trainer is known for some iconic, in-your-face colourways —‘Silver Bullet’ and ‘Metallic Gold’, anyone? — but everyone's rotation needs that go-to simple sneaker to balance things out. Enter the fly-under-the-radar Air Max 97 'Triple White.'The design is loaded with all the features that make the legendary 97 such an easy choice: Nike’s uber-comfy full-length Air unit and 3M detailing for starters. But they’re not completely devoid of pigmentation; there are a few embroidered metallic Swoosh logos for added flair.
