Took some more photos of my pair. Got a size 8 instead of 8.5 bc it was the last wearable size my local Footlocker had. After swapping the insoles, they feel a bit better.

Ordered my true size on footlocker.ca but they're notoriously known to oversell/cancel orders. Fingers crossed.

Also made an on-feet video for those interested:

Wore these to the mall today. Bought them in 2010 weeks after they released for $64.99. Ended up scooping 2 pairs. I Can't believe 97's are hyped up now, considering people used to give me crap for wearing these and the silver bullets. Got the silver bullets for $50 in 2008. $50!!

Side note: a guy came up to me and asked how I got these early. I was like bruh these are the 2010 joints haha

I flocked to this so quick hoping it'd be my size. I think I'm going to end up paying $260 re-sale [emoji]128533[/emoji]

Smh the hype for these am97s are real.I can remember around 08 or 09 when the where sitting on shelves.

So since Wensday I've been wanting these shoes and thought I'd hit on snkrs app since my info was pre saved.

I was wrong.Took an L.

By that morning I called around the whole DMV and everywhere was dry.Called ubiq out Georgetown and he told me that they were getting a late shipment in for a sz10 and 11 so I went down there and picked up the sz11.(my sz is a 13 or 14)

Thought I could use em for a sz swap and it's been harder than ever to even locate my sz.Started calling all the consignments and they said they don't have my sz14 but will gladly buy them.I declined on there offers.

Kept calling around and finally found a sz14 out bmore at a st mount clare dtlr.Made that hike (1hr20mins drive) just to get there and see a dude with 3 bags of shoes freshly bought outta dtlr hoping in his car in front of me but I didn't think nothing of him.......walked in there and already called ahead of time pleaded with an employee to hold em for me since I'm making that journey from pg out there just for me to hear "Oh I just sold em to a guy"Smh I said "what?"and she said she asked the guy right before I walked in was he the guy coming from out pg she talked to on the phone and he said yes and bought em.The rest of the employees shook there head and started going in on her and she said whatever were not suppose to hold shoes anyway.[emoji]128532[/emoji][emoji]128533[/emoji]He got my sz14.Im losing hope I might just have to return them.

since we got a lot more 97 fans in here now I figure I'll repost my collection from page 5 of this thread

Not pictured are the silvers I got from Nike Chicago yesterday. I was very surprised they had my size 14 in stock

There is a 13 still at a local store of ours in OR. You said you're a 13 or 14 and then said 14. If you can fit a 13 I'll go pick it up. Yes, I'm an 11, and looking for a pair.

Nice

What camera do you use?

 

[rwfanatic]

juberrymtl What insoles did you swap with?

 

[thinone]

 
I also wear an 11 and I have skinny and narrow feet. Tried the 11 on and it felt alright then tried on the 11.5 and it felt way better. The 11 didn't have enough wiggle room for my toes. Spent about 15 mins going back and forth between the 11 and 11.5. 

Sounds like it depends on the foot/preference. Praying my 0.5 up pair fits so I don't have to size swap

I found a swap on ig for a sz13.I said I could fit a sz13 or 14 and the store had a sz14.Last time I checked I knew of a store with a sz 11.5.If you can fit that lmk and we can work something out

Olympus PEN Lite E-PL5 with a LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH

juberrymtl What insoles did you swap with?

I used insoles from a pair of Ultra Boost. They're much thinner than what's used in a pair of Air Max.
