US release is labeled as a QS

Does that mean only certain stores carry QS releases?

QS refers more to which retailers will get it, not so much about how many pairs will be released.

Forget who but there was a post a while back with a screengrab of Footlocker UK (I think?) announcing a mid-April drop. But nothing yet about which foot sites will be getting them.

For those that have these...how is the comfort? I tried on the 98's when they first came out and they felt like bricks on my feet.

Still feel like bricks. Laces feel like sandpaper, too. It's been 20 years so I may be mistaken but I remember them being better in 97.

Damn. I may have to pass on them as much as I love the 97's. I had the OG royal blue / neon pair back in the day and I used those bad boys from 8th grade all the way to junior year of high school for track. Long distance, sprints, jumpes - those babies made it through everything. I absolutely LOVED that pair. If they ever retro'd that color way, it could feel like cactus's on your feet and I would buy them. Silver Bullets are nice, but these days I am all about comfort and if they feel as bad as those 98s no way I could justify shelling out $160 plus tax for them.

Thanks for review!

Wait the silver bullets are dropping again? They must be super under the radar...

When are they supposed to release in the states? Any info? Looked back a couple pages but couldn't find anything

krysknows · Mar 16, 2017

Word has it that the 15th of next month, but don't be surprised if some of them drop on the 26th of this month...

They've been trickling out of Europe since last year. Couple stateside shops released in small batches but no confirmed date for US yet. Might restock on or around Air Max Day.

Your feet didn't grow from 8th to junior year?

Unfortunately no. Started wearing a size 9 in 8th grade and that is what I still am today.

I feel like they're gonna just show up at retailers like a true Quickstrike, which would explain why that boutique in SF randomly got them already.

Vice Gallery in Denver and Salt Lake City got them yesterday.

fully expecting this myself.

Got a peep into a local shops stock room (door was open) and I could've sworn I saw a pair sitting out of its box. Whether this was an employees shoe or stock, we'll find out...

QS= Quit Searching.

langfor5 Any more info on this? I just tried calling their denver store, and it is disconnected. Their instagram says they are moving, and their physical stores are closed. Am I too late? :lol
