Official Air Max 97 Thread

The only Nike web-site that carries them seems to be Nike Indonesia: https://www.nike.com/id/launch/t/air-max-97-atlantic-blue-voltage-yellow
They were released in Japan as well. Actually, released via SNKRS-JP while ago (probably, a week?) and they are still on FSR as of currently.

These are those same options I saw like a half year ago on there if those are them. They were up for like a day or so, and then were taken down.

You’re right!

The materials/colors look more suitable for Fall/Winter .
 
Here was my original post; it was actually July 2021 :sick:

I remember that! I’m happy to see a Mesh Base. Was there a leather mudguard option?

I’d rather have the recent AM1 Unlocked restock instead. But these will keep me busy until then. I doubt that these will have a one design limitation like those.
 
^ I really don’t remember. I remember being a little underwhelmed with the colors, as they were mostly pastels. I am excited for suede though.

If they had safari print leather for an option I’d buy 10 of em. It’s my dream 97.
 
Usually, I avoid leather. However, I’m not sure why I prefer leather over Suede/Nubuck/Felt for the AM97s and AM95s.
 
I’ll tell you one thing, the new option is going to be A LOT. There’s leathers, suedes, canvas, zig zag stitch option, and A few others things. I wanted to use the new zig zag feature and play with textures for my pair. The option goes live on Nike.com 5/19.

After playing around with the options more, I'll be ordering two just to see how they turn out. The previous AM97 NBY options are still better, IMO. However, these are decent.

Can’t go wrong with a suede pair dragicon dragicon , went suede on my second pair. The purple was a bit darker on the mock-up, but still nice nonetheless.

Damn… The second pair looks great. Got Treeline vibe. BTW, is that recycled canvas used as the base??? Since I basically love the suede option on any NBY, contemplating to order something like this at first…,

But might wanna go with this if the canvas looks like that…

The Nea B is nice. Gonna see if I can replicate a smokey mauve color-blocking myself.
 
Based on these images of Red Bark:

I think I'll be going with this version of the Neapolitan design with the Red Bark Mesh and Mesa Orange Overlays:

The Mesa Orange appears more Brown. However, when you select it as a base, the liner appears Orange Orange lol

I like how the Suede appears like the ice cream texture.
