Nike Air Max 97
Release Date: March 23rd, 2019

I need em

 

[q-ball2220]

Agreed. I loved my pair but they didn't wear as well as my AB's so I chose to let them go.

Didn’t wear well? I would assume the AB’s wouldn’t wear as well because it has more white on it

Nah, they weren’t as comfortable as the ABs. Maybe I got a bum pair. Or a great pair of ABs. Just wasn’t a good fit for whatever reason.

I feel like I'm going to do something stupid and break my "no resale" policy for these SW 97/1s.........

 

[_poohdaddy]

I definitely wouldn't break that rule for those lol I just don't see it

Ohhh I see, man Nike is so inconsistent with quality. I literally have had doubles of certain shoes same size where one fits totally different than the other so I def feel u lol

because you have to feel it to understand

The more I see it the more upset I get that I couldn't hit on the official release. And I wasn't able to hit on the restock because I didn't vote for it.
It's just a beautiful looking shoe man. My restraint has been good so far, but I've been seeing more and more of it recently and that itch is there . Unfortunately the resale prices have ballooned since then.

 

[_poohdaddy]

I hear ya. To each his own lol I just refuse to even think about paying anyone for a shoe just because I missed out on the release date.

What size are you looking for?

What size are you looking for?

I'm normally size 8, so I've been advised to go 7.5 for these, although I think 7 might work too. You know somewhere else besides SX for a lower price?

SW 97/1’s pop up on grailed for less than aftermarket rate from time to time.

set up a search for them and just check multi times a day

I don't trust Grailed. I just did a search for the SW 97/1s and the first one that popped up for $600 is a replica.

edit: The next two are also replicas....

Damn therefill
I’m a sz13 so I guess my size isn’t that readily made in fakes

a worn a few times pair off eBay/IG is your best bet for less than 500/600$ at this point otherwise is 550+$ for ds in any size

Add another $200 to that $550 amount

I have a 10.5 that's sitting in a box but it obviously won't fit.

I voted for them several times and didn't hit. Voting for them determined whether or not someone got them?

Those who voted had a chance to buy them again if selected through Exclusive Access.

Any store at Shore Hill Mall in NJ have the Sean Wotherspoon’s when they released?

I'll just wear like 10 pair of socks and add two more insoles.

Nah, but for real, the resale on these are ridiculous

 

[rainking]

Japan's came in.

I'm still on my first of two pairs of these. I've worn them a fair amount and as time has passed since they released, I have to be honest and say I don't love them as much as I thought I would when I bought them. I was super psyched for them leading up to the release, but in real life, I still put the OG silvers far ahead of everything else. Something about the Japan's means they just don't pop like I thought they would. Still really like the shoe, but now I sort of wish I had bought a fourth pair of silvers instead of my second pair of these LOL

I would not recommend sizing down a full size...especially if you're paying resale.

 

[monkeyd]

i still love the japan and the silver bullet.... both pairs i have them out cause i wear them both so often. thinking about getting a pair of menta but then i think to myself if im gonna wear a pair of grey shoes ill just wear the silver bullet

 

[tigo0240]

Atlantic Blues are my underdog. Hell, when I bought them I just wanted ANY size 14 to try on...I had every intention of returning them to Nike. But it was meant to be

Japan/Neons are my #1

Silver Bullet takes the silver medal.
