Nike
Air Zoom Turf Jet 97
January
2013 saw the release of many new Nike basketball shoes but few caught my
attention like these. Nike released their new Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 training
shoe base off an old school version of a turf training shoe in 1997. These
shoes feature two majority colors while adding a small touch of a third color
that provide a solid look of completion on the shoe.
After the shoes initial release in the white, black, and copper color, we have seen an onslaught of new innovative colors that have gained the shoe quite a lot of popularity. The Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 “copper metal” features predominantly white and grey colors and a copper colored accent to add color. I believe this slight but noticeable splash of color provides a classy or more elegant appeal then other shoes that may overdue the copper color.
Nike than released the Nike Air
Zoom Turf Jet 97 “Oregon edition” (I want a pair) which features a black and
gold color scheme. The Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 “Oregon edition” boosts a
smooth reserved black appeal boasted by the addition of nubuck (a material
similar to suede, only better suited for shoe wear and tear) on the top of the
shoe that replaced the traditional leather. The Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 “Oregon
edition” also features a gold metal accent piece that fades into the signature University
of Oregon yellow. Also in homage to the University of Oregon the shoe bares the
Oregon logo on the tongue and inside the shoe. I really would like a pair of
these shoes so if you see me walking down your street in these shoes don’t be
surprised.
Lastly the Nike Air Zoom Turf
Jet 97 “Stealth” is a black, grey and purple variation of the shoe. These
feature lots of grey rubber, black, and mean streak of “club purple” to
complete the shoe. In hindsight this shoe line is not bad Nike and I can’t wait
to see if anymore bold colors or themes of the Nike Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 will
reach the American stores.

A few of those caught my eye and I'm not the tennis guy. You definitely keep me hip with what Nike has up and coming.
I like the pop of color in a couple of them. I might actually try one pair out one day.
I have always been a nike fan. SO ofcourse a few caught my eye. However, i',m not sure about them turf Jet 97 yet. I might try them.
I am not a connoisseur of sneakers however, in my youger days I was. When I saw the ones that were mostly white, they somewhat reminded me of the Deion Sanders.
Some of those sneakers were actually nice. These pictures are very insightful because I wouldn't normally keep up with sneakers
I love learning the history of the shoes and the highlights of the details of the sneaker. I really enjoy your blog. This shoe is cool, I like some of the colors.
