Isn't it only in CA and his store in VA that will release them, and worldwide in March 2018?

Needsupply is also based in Richmond, so maybe they get a special privilege to release them as well.

"...by the community, for the community."
We'll see when the official release comes if it's really "for the community."

sean has no control over what happens now... he made a rant post about how a reseller was able to get a pair before he was able to get his for f&f, which i think he took down soon after. personally i think these are weak, but kudos to him for being able to use his platform to get a shoe designed.

1. Comfort comes from midsole IMO
AM97 is not quite soft as I imagined.
Had to put weight on side of the shoe to squeeze the bubble.
AM97 UL Midsole is softer than AM95.
AM95 are literally unsquezable with your own weight
But!!!! AM95 forefoot air protect my knees.
AM97 UL is not as soft as Nike Zoom All Out, Air Jordan 2 Chicago lows 2016.
AJ2 is poorly ventilated but most comfy shoes ever.
If you wear Air Max Uptempo (95 Uptempo my case) series, AM97 UL feel about the same......
Good news, AM97 UL is softer than Jordan 3,4,5 retro.
2. Upper feels like AM95 (2016)
Lots of straps that wrap your foot inside, that I feel lucky to go 1/2 up like the rest of my Air Max collections
AIRMAXDISCIPLE
may give you a more accurate answer...... I converted to Air Max recently, and only have 6 pairs of Air Max, one deadstock.

I agree AM97 UL Triple black should be beaters
too many good colorways for essential construction.
Undefeated (Phylon midsole) , 95/97, Royal Blue Women, Atlantic Blues, Black Neons
Really like the Royal womens 97. Kinda must cop.
I also personally like Wool Thunder Blue, Light Pumice, and Hybrid 97Plus.
Many NTers favorite 97 included Skeptas (Phylon midsole)
Nike should have made more of these Phylon midsole, but instead only “more Premium 97s” like SK or Undefeated have them.
Tell you what, I might unDS my Undefeated for Phylon sake.

Japan's getting the double up treatment. Just too damn fire.

The fact that they only have up to 10 worries me.
Is it normal for them to not have all sizes available upon release?

No, 9.5 was the biggest, with 10 being "only available in stores"

They originally had size 7.5, 8, 8.5. Yesterday up to size 10 was added. I was able to checkout a size 10 yesterday, but now is saying available in select stores. To my knowledge 10 was the biggest wmns size available.
