Golds are true. Whites aren't. That was just ******** info originally posted by the sole supplier. The worst sneaker news outlet in the UK. Well known for their poor info to build traffic to their site

Are those retail version or just samples? That sole just doesn't flow well together with the 97 silhouette. I always found it interesting that GS versions of some air maxes use the previous generation's sole. For example, GS size am95 uses the am93 sole.

its a custom, they removed the 97 midsole and replaced it with a 95 midsole

I'm sure it has to do with 1. Saving money, since the 95 air unit would cost more than a 93 PU forefoot, and 2. Logistically, making such a small 95 air unit isnt practical, both physically and... Monetarily.

it has nothing to do with money, back in the days they could've easily use the wmns AM95 midsole for the GS version but for some reason they have refused to do that, the only GS AM shoe that got the same midsole as the mens version was the GS AM2 Light and the GS BW's, i got a pair back in the days and when i saw that the GS version has the same midsole as the mens version i was amazed, normally Nike will always change the GS releases with a different midsole but with that release it remained unchanged

they've always been more popular in the eu but expect them to be a hassle here as well just because of IG/social media hypebeasts.
footsites supposedly will have these so expect a pretty wide release stateside but still plan according for release day.

Nike is just trying to build up the demand with releases like this, dont fall for the Nike trap, these will be super easy to get after April, Nike doing all this abracadabra is because all the previous AM97 Silver Bullet releases were a huge flop and majority of the shoes ended up at the outlets to be $40 dust catchers
