for the peeps that want the gundams with OG outsole, they gonna drop the wmns version with the OG outsole
a guy that works for an sneakershop have confirmed on FB that the wmns release will have the OG outsole
 
So most likely they will feel like bricks. For this reason, Im passing. My 97 retros kill my feet.
No you shock them.

Try compress the forefoot thin bubble on a curb

Compress heel air bubble on curb too.

Jump around with your heel.
Phylon will be softer (I believe country camo is phylon)

97 is harder than 95
95 gets softer as you shock them

97 doesn’t but go ahead run in them.
It’s a running shoe.
600 meters a day (0.4 Miles) don’t hurt.

U may just have to break em in...imo 97s and 98s take a while to break in, but u get rewarded with comfort that lasts a really really long time...full length air max units are really really durable. Im wearing 2006 hoa 97 right now, pretty damn comfortable cushioning, shoe is beat but theyre more comfy than the flyknit lunar i had on earlier in the day.
Compare the 97s, 98s with something like boost, which is super comfy right out the gate, but will lose a lot of that comfort and 'bottom out' relatively quickly.

I do suspect that 97s 10 years ago are made softer, and new ones are harder.

It seemed to have to deal with PSI too, although we are walking in polyurethane pillars between those holes.

For instance, AM95 front airbag is 5 PSI, Rear is 25 PSI.
AM95 really helped my knees while playing basketball, when I land on forefoot. But the Rear has no shock absorbing function at all....
