Which model Air Max 97 is this?

[JannickR]

Hello out there.
Last year I bought these Air Max 97 second hand, and was told they were a special version of Silver Bullets.
Now I am sorting out my sneakers and want to put them up for sale, but I do not wish to misinform anyone about the shoes.
Is this a regular Air Max 97 Silver bullet? Or something special or maybe none of the above?
And what are they worth? I would say they are condition 9/10.
Thanks a lot!

Post the pic of the tag inside the shoes if u can. The production date might be able to id them further, but seems like the last retro (2017?) is labeled differently. Don’t really remember whether this was the model which Nike released QS edition in a limited quantity at first to boost some hype and then whole bunch of GRs later, but if that was the case, that means yours should be latter tho.

Thanks. I can see mine is dated 06/30-18 and 08/10-18.

These are very obvious fakes - box label is totally off.

 

[JannickR]

Ohh. I hope not.

 

[modus47]

Yeah, shoe size tag is also off. Def fakes.

 

[JannickR]

Oh. Thats awful.
I’ve just found the chat from Facebook back from when I brought them.
he wrote “ they are called Italian, and the difference is that there is a bit more mesh and the color is a bit different. Also they were never sold in stores. He bought them from one from Germany.
Well if they are fake I will keep them and punish them until they are worn out.
What a waste of 190$ (1150DKK).

After seeing the production date and further researching, I have to agree w/ modus47...

 

[JannickR]

Well thanks for your help. Sad but true. I will keep the shoes.

There actually were so called AM97 Silver Bullet Italy's, which can be easily identified by the green-red-white accents on the tongue tab and heel tab. Afaik they released in '12 & '16 but not entirely sure.

You have any other info on the guy you bought from? Insta/FB/URL? Lots more fakes to be found I guess.

Sorry to hear. But sounds like you were fully cheated since this is supposed to be AM97 Silver Bullet Italy...

Didn’t know they also came out in 2012, but 2016 edition above was sold exclusively at the selected stores in Italy and the pair available on stockx is currently listed around approx. $2K...
