Official Air Max 97 Thread

[2ceezzz]

Is there any size difference between the Skepta Ultra 97s and regular OG 97s? I wear a 12.5 in all of my regular 97s but thought I saw a while back that the skeptas fit differently

 

[tonytobacco]

Theres hella sneakers that dropped that are way better than the neckbeards

If youre basing your judgement off of pictures then you might be selling them short. The true color doesnt seem to translate. And the details dont really pop out.

 

[franknbeans]

Them air max deluxe are cool but type soccer cleatish...is rock them blue joints , but they definitely not on the SW level imo

For me (and most) it's a half down from the OG build.

Not a fan of the deluxes. SW >

Are SWs the best shoe of 2018 thus far? Meh possibly, I’m still itching for more acronym prestos

When are we going to see more color ways of the 97 BW? No way it’s just skeptas colorway, right?

 

[monkeyd]

Would definitely switch out to different laces

 

[dhamightyquinn]

Oh the custom possibilities!!

Still the best drop of 2018

I feel like if that SW was widely available and sitting, ya wouldn’t keep that same energy.

Very true, although you could say that about most limited shoes.

That’s hypebeast mentality. Definitely tripled up because of backstory, design, quality and a fan of air max in general. Been doing this for 15 yrs so GR/limited talk or some celeb wearing them doesn’t sway my decision at all.

I didn't vote for it, didn't even care about it...and I think the dude is a tool. But they're undeniably unique, quality sneakers so I copped a pair. I don't think it's a stretch at all to put them in the top 5 releases of the year.

 

[tonytobacco]

SWs are easily top 5 if not #1

What other release tops them? Everytime you see a collection pic or vid, those SWs stick out like no other. Its an original release (not retro) and they only get better in hand. They also look like a classic Nike, like theyve been around forever but they just released if that makes any sense. That shoe was a grand slam.

I seriously cant picture a better release from Nike this year. Help.

I have the SW's but for me (and I know this is going to be an out there not popular opinion) but my shoe of the year thus far is the AM1 Watermelons. The cw is so unique and its an AM1 which adds to its greatness. I truly think the watermelons are going to be a classic shoe a few years from now in the same way the og currys are.

 

[tonytobacco]

Arent the watermelons made of trash though?

I am personally happy with the quality, especially for $110. My pair is much nicer than the currys which were more expensive as an example though that is an unfair comparison as the currys are are definitely poor quality imo

 

[DADDYFATSACKS]

Witherspoons are trash. They look like something my niece would wear.

No not at all. That whole spring pack is great.
