Official Air Max 97 Thread

Slam jam pair just came in,
I hate they split up the panel and added the stitch on the lateral side

*edit* actually never realized the OGs had the stitch there, still think they look better without it though lol

true to the OG so im good with that and other changes. looks more accurate than 2017 version.

Is it just the angle or is the toe area better than the previous? Feel like the 2017 pair was more flat in the toe area

the 97s from the last 2 years are less bulky than the pre 2020 releases

Ahh gotcha. I went ham on 97s from 2017-2019 so I haven't gotten any since

 

[vig09]

I needed to half size up on the 2022 ABS , will do same on these I guess

I’m sick I missed the slamjam stock. Usually I’m on it like when they had the atlantics in

How’s the comfort on the new 97s? My bum *** might stand in line If these release in store.

Still bricks.


I wish they'd do some more phylon midsole versions. They did a women's neon CW that was supposedly very comfy. I have a pair of 98s that they did in extended sizes that had the phylon midsole and they're so much nicer.

If you’re expecting them to make them extremely comfortable again, you’re going to be holding out a lot longer than 2027

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

i wouldnt call it like that lol, you're just a sneakerdude what is very passionate about his hobby

I remember getting these at a Nike " speakeasy" event in 2017 , right across from the Trump building. Nike served cocktails and everything lol. They had enough pairs for everyone there, and put them in gold boxes. I dogged those bad, they're beaters. Definitely need a reup pair

Was that by wall street/financial district? I think I went to that too hoping it'd be the japan neons. It wasn't so I left empty handed. Wow memory unlocked

 

[carlcarlsson]

I was in New York in August and went by Trump Tower, went in cause I thought it was the hotell from home alone 2. But geez that building is really a shrine to the greatness of Donald Trump. The word "self-distance" was not allowed between those walls.

Fineline charging $300 for the Silver Bullets is wild!

 

[da r entertainment]

Goat has the SBs a little over retail. Bit the bullet and copped. Just need the L&Fs this month and maybe the AMA 4s then it's a wrap for sneakers in 2022.

V vig09 is like 100 years old so I definitely value his comments on comfort
