Official Air Max 97 Thread

[Canadian Destroyer]

damn !!! just went through 20 pages in this thread, seems like the S-B 97s release was pretty difficult to get, hopefully it will be different when the atlantic blues and the black neon 97s drop, im not really in the mood for all that BS :x hopefully those 2 cws wont get hyped up like how it did with the S-B 97s

Are those cw's set to drop? If they are then it's about damn time.

Copped a size 10 off SNS and a size 9.5 and 10 from my local champs for sizing comparison lol

i'm gonna already take my L for the gold cw...

I just knew I would be able to stroll into the mall at 6pm today after work and scoop a pair. I thought I'd even be able to try on an 11.5 and a 12 to see what fit best. So wrong.....smh so wrong. Everywhere in DFW is sold out. I had no idea these were on so many people's radar

Fashion changes with time. When you got your 98s on sale everyone wanted J's. Flash fwd to 17 and it's the opposite. Everyone is into athletic streetwear. The states are trying to be like EU and it sucks because this has been my style forever and I'm stateside.

Truth right here. Street style in the US is blending more towards euro street wear

Couldn't agree more

the EU peeps are now the trendsetters in the kickz game, the days that the EU try to mimic the US style are pretty much over now

 

[cucumbercool]

Still amazed at the level of beasting for this shoe.

Where was all this the last time they came out? Oh that's right--they were a GR.

NEVER have they sold out like this. They were outlet fodder each and every time. What i'm trying to understand is what makes people jump on the bandwagon. Heard people saying "i've been waiting for these for so long" and I just stare at them blankly. People jump on the dumbest trends.

for me, i had always thought the 97's were ugly AF....but times have changed since the last drop, and they look dope to me now, and it goes well with different styles. Silver bullets look great with joggers but also look great with the "highwater" pants that some European and Asian people rock em with

Well like the rest of us, we're getting older and our taste/style evolved. So it's no wonder that runners and retros are getting hyped these days.

I wear sz13 so I knew even though others said these would be easy, to plan accordingly....

when the fnl jig was first posted here I went and tried for myself( I live in no mans land so it required a 45min trip each way) and got shot down my a young female who looked at me like I was an idiot.....

luckily @dragicon was able to secure me a sz13 from his store....

even with this knowledge I didn't feel safe....

tried every spot that had them early last wk...LLLLLLLz

woke up @3am and tried sns....L

snkrs @10 on mine, wifes & my sons account.... L/L/L

every footsite/champs/eastbay.....LLLLLLz

if not for a fellow NT'r I'd be left w/just my $$$

Same here.   I didn't have to try to cop today because of a fellow NT'r...   Love how people are so willing to help each other out on here.  Very refreshing.

All of this.

I've always been a fan of British film and tv and i stayed wanting to mimic their style.

While everyone was in street gear I was rocking cardigans and pea coats with sneakers.

[sales]

I was talking to the employees at champs and some sneakerheads and they think the hype grew a little because of that photo of drake wearing these lol

Was at work like majority of everyone else....took an early lunch at 945 cuz the mall right up the street...get to Crabtree in raleigh and its like 30 heads in line...sold out smh. Call some ppl in Houston and Ohio to see if they could find something for me, no luck. Post about being upset striking out on my IG page, my cousin in Moreno Valley Cali hits me up like "yo i'm in the store right now, u need that 11.5?" 

 today has truly been a good day

very true. I have spent far more money in the last couple yrs because of IG. Seeing the same damn shoe in different filters, from 3 different followers, will brainwash you!
