Official Air Max 97 Thread

Nah this was a ez cop
There's no reason why, ppl just got unmotivated

 Easy would mean that they are still sitting.  I wouldn't call these a tough cop however they are not easily found now.  Not everyone can stand in line when the store opens or wait at the computer when there is an online drop.

I agree with you though.  If you really wanted it, it was attainable.

I think they were easy in the sense that if you had the time to be at a PC and try all the links posted etc etc you could have purchased a pair.  I was able to cart on several sites but could not bring myself to pull the trigger.  They are dope but not a must have for me.

This is my first pair of 97 silver bullets. I was blown away with how good they looked in person on the ftl shelves. Just beautiful. Had to have them!

dunno bout ez. SNKRS kept telling me my gift card was not enough to cover the order(200) then i said screw it a put my regular credit card, after i hit add to cart it asked for the security code again (basically took 3 tries) then it said pending and it said I didnt get them and it was sold out in under a minute. Was even trying on the app at the same time. Foot locker app useless they took it off in 3 minutes, though footaction's website let me add it to the cart and while i was putting in my information in under 30 seconds it said not in stock and just booted me from the shipping information page. Someone posted wishATL had it and the same thing happened. they had 8,5 in stock, was putting in my address then it said out of stock and dumps it out of cart and boots you out. So then on my lunch break 4 foot lockers, 1 foot action, 1 finish line all they had is kid size and one foot locker 6, 6.5 and a 7.

Feel like there was plenty of opportunities on here/links posted. If you didn't cop it's cuz you didn't try and assumed it would be very easy. Or you just recently became really interested in them because the hype

Not everybody lives in big cities with stores close by. Releasing the shoes during normal work hours also doesn't help. SNKRS sold out in less than a couple minutes... I was probably 20 seconds after 10:00 AM eastern, and it was already out of stock. Why should people be motivated to play these games that Nike creates?

 

[mavallon]

anyone still got them need 11 1/2 or 12

 

[sloanboy]

I went on and got them from the mike Leroy site shout out to who posted the link and the free shipping code. I got my regular size I have a slim foot so hopefully they fit. I'm prolly pass on the 11s this weekend now tho.

There was a young "reseller" where I copped. He was wit his pops. They each copped a size and then he ran off to another store to cop more. He was saying he gona sell on Goat for $250. Good luck to him lol...

you and I know very well it's the latter

 

[rwfanatic]

You guys don't clean your shoes? Why do so many of you need more than 1.

 

[bryceson]

I've liked these since the beginning of the year and for some reason expected them to be around $140, so I hesitated on the $160 price (Still tried on SNKRS) and am kicking myself now. I don't mind paying around $200 for a pair of 12.5's if someone has a proxy.

JUST LET THESE PPL VENT. ITS WARRANTED FRUSTRATION, THEY ALREADY TOOK A L, DONT L THEM AGAIN.

Nah man.
Just like everything else in life, if you want something, do work and go get it.
It's obvious that a decent amount of people thrived while others did take L's. This is how the game goes. I really do hope and wish that everyone that wanted a pair got one.

But I guarantee you that for this release, there is a very strong correlation between the effort you put in to grab a pair and your success rate.

Ranting because you didn't get something that you felt you were naively entitled to (for whatever reason) is pointless

don't give me that nah man. you looking even more foolish telling them off. Like people in here with fair complaints. they say their peace, vent, and usually move on. then you have double nonsense of people essentially telling them they either don't come to the forum enough to complain, or they didn't "do their homework" knowing damn well everyone takes L's for different reasons. Just let them live. who cares what they did or did not do to to L, they L'ed because of whatever brands foolishness. Let them say thier peace and move on. you cannot stop them by compaining, so just let it ride out.

Exactly. Lots of people were in here talking about how it was going to be an ez cop, and possibly getting some pairs on discount. NO, everything nowadays is hyped don't take these releases for granted.

 

[cuteuglyhaha]

Well, compared to Yeezys and AJ1 Royals, these were e-z copped as long as you didn't sleep on them.
