Official Air Max 97 Thread

I asked a random mom and pop shop in bk about these yesterday and they were confident they were getting them.. Could be wrong.. but I have a feeling that map will update. This is not the first time the map glitched.. idk why everyone is being so quick to assume and frighten themselves. Banned 1 had glitches, other releases after that have changed mid week from FCFS to reserve and vice versa..

Doesn't mean it will change.. but we still have days ahead for changes to occur.. have some patience and if it's like this by Monday/Tuesday.. fine go ape **** lol.

Very true! This happened with Royal's as well.


yea but they are now available to reserve via the app. and only two NY stores are listed

You remember what happened during the Royal 1's release? Might be the same case for this one.

Am I wrong to assume they would've made some improvements over the 20 years?

The "ultras" would be the 'new and improved' versions. If they changed materials and design, people would complain and say they arent like the originals (see years of complaint about jordan XIs). They started doing ultras, which are lighter and refined a bit to "make improvements". However, most of the ultras are less material, more comfort, more expensive, and look different.
 
Wow, if it's limited in NY...It'll probably be super limited out here in the DMV.

Thanks for the L, Nike lol

What's the mom and pop shop called? Im from Bk
 
I honestly hope it's like the SB where I can walk in and line up because they had PLENTY of pairs for folks to cop 3 or 4 times.
 
 
That's really a question you need to ask yourself dog
Hmm true, Makes me feel a little better copping them though if the general consensus is that its a good price

I'm fortunate to live in the NYC area. I entered the in app reservation thing. If I win, I'm gonna need to trek 55 miles back and forth to and from Long Island...on a work day. I feel for those that won't be able to cop outside the area.
 
I just talked my co-worker again, who works at footlocker part time, and he confirmed that house of hoops in my city is getting them although the launch locator says otherwise. So we will see

This is a good thing?

A good and bad thing. I don't like to do "work" to get some sneakers. I would be happier (and others would) if you could just stumble in to buy a pair of golds. On the other hand, I am still fortunate to at least have a *chance* to buy them retail. It's all messed up. I blame hypebeasts and Instagram.
