Official Air Max 97 Thread

Very interesting cause Size? Drops on 02/23 aswelll. Maybe the GR UK release is the 23rd and the US release in March?

I hope no one relies on size for this release. It's dropping online and in Manchester and London only think. Staff there known for buying up all the stock and reselling and the website always goes into meltdown for a big release

My b-day is on the 21st next week, so if I can buy them the same week

 

[briansthirdeye]

Ready for my L on the 23rd though...

 

[rogue5]

there's no difference between the women's and men's, right?

 

[modus47]

Besides the size range the differences will most likely be very marginal.

 

[sales]

I'd like to find out if this recent release fits TTS

Are you asking what the conversion from men's to women's is? If so, 7.5/8 in men's is 9/9.5 in women's.

i was and then decided to take five minutes and google it. lol

Has there been any hint of a release stateside?  I know some boutiques like Kith had a few a month or two back but that's all that I knew of.  I don't think I'll be able to order from Nike UK.

my guess is that we'll see a drop in the US around air max day (3/26). whether it's before, during or after is anyone's guess, but it'll be soon.

Just to follow up on the womens/mens question, based on those links from yesterday, the womens color way is a darker silver.

So do we know how limited this will be? Because there's no reason for it to be. The recent neon 95 and infra 90 packs were widely available

I won't even bother in that case. They'll be on eBay within minutes for triple the price.

Lazy f#%king Nike!

Might be true but my experience is that shop employees usually either don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about, or just making something up to boost up potential sales. Or both.

Very true in most instances. He said they already have their delivery in and it's looking limited and didn't seem like the type to care about boosting sales etc lol

I'm hoping they're limited anyway so I can rock my 10th anniversary pair without every other ****** wearing them [emoji]128514[/emoji]

As selfish as it may sound, I'm kinda with you that lol

 

[frankwh1te]

terrible mentality that is so pervasive in sneakers and streetwear.

could care less about what the next man has on...just wanna be able to get mine hassle free.

 

[AIRMAXDISCIPLE]

darker grey on wmns pair looks better imo

If it's not true it could well be that they want to suggest much more limited numbers than there are so they can buy up themselves and eBay them. Size employees are notorious for that with limited Adidas spzl / city series type releases for instance.

 

[frankwh1te]

^sure that's not just a filter on the image?

the entire shoe is darker including the red of the swoosh.

looks better darker to me too.

Lool chill out bro. I couldn't care less about what a next man has on either. But if every next man has the same pair on then 97s will start to lose their exclusivity and I may aswell start rocking no fears
