Official Air Max 97 Thread

[ninjatoes]

What material is the toe box? Suede ?

Lowest black portion of the upper is a like a nubuck/durabuck type material.

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

arent they a complex con exclusive?

400pairs total
200 each day

They are.
If people thought whites were hard to get.

These are next level exclusives

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

Because every other part is an ultra build.

Why are Skeptas considered ultras when the layers are sewn and not hyperfused?

Ultras have more to do with the midsole tooling than it does the upper.
Ultra midsoles of any model are typically cored out to be lighter (and generally feel better). The outsole/midsole are one piece.

The uppers are usually no sew to go along with the whole super light theme. But it's all about the stuff that touches the ground.

 

[salacious crumb]

Not suprised the best ones are the hardest ones to get.

 

[berkowitz]

prefer the original mock up. they're ok.

 

[ninjatoes]

Kinda amazing to me that this colorway has been kept under wraps for so long. Considering Complexcon is this weekend, I would have expected leaked images going back at least a month. Solid colorway nonetheless.

UNDEFEATED has a third colorway of their celebrated h collaboration coming, and it just might be the one you’ve been waiting for. The California-based sneaker boutique that paved the way for sneaker collaborations in the U.S. established itself with its signature MA-1 Flight Jacket colorway that was seen in their Dunk High of 2001 and later in their unforgettable Air Jordan 4 in 2005. It appears that the signature “Olive” colorway is hitting the Air Max 97, with a black stripe around the shoe and orange details on the tongue. For now, these are releasing exclusively at Complex Con this coming weekend, so check out the exclusive look here and stay tuned for potential future release info

UNDEFEATED X NIKE AIR MAX 97
RELEASE DATE: NOVEMBER 4-5TH, 2017
$170

Hey I might just wear this straight to the feet
And return my distorted triple black ultra

 

[sdiori]

Olives....gah damn.

We don’t deserve all this fire we’ve been getting.

I feel like a broken record each time a new or retro color way drops for 1s or 97s.

 

[Smithbeentrill]

If they drop worldwide I'm in. Retail or bust.

 

[downyboy]

olive pair is by far the best.

 

[Thierry Henry]

[newgodflow]

Are there any other air max 97 OG's possibly coming out this year? I want to get another pair but don't really like anything out so far besides the neons. AB's are OK but they have no history to me.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Now everyone loves the Olives.. shocker.

 

[frankwh1te]

only reason the olive looks better than the other two to me is because it doesn’t have patent leather on it.

patent leather ruined the other two

color wise, they’re all clean but patent leather is a wack on runners imo.

I agree to an extent. I like the Olive over the other two for the same reason but I didn't mind it as much on the black pair bc it was black and wouldn't yellow 5-10 years down the line like the white pair.


Side note, anyone plan on buying the navy blue/wool pair tomorrow? Was on the fence

 

[VegetableLasagna]

Please lawd let the olives get some online treatment at some point

 

[Leetroy Jenkins]

i only like the orange accent

that was the kicker for me lol

 

[AL Andretti]

If they drop worldwide I'm in. Retail or bust.

The only way I’m copping...**** resell prices.

 

[Upptempo]

Well if they're only complex con then prices will be insane. Minimum $600+

 

[polo sport]

i still prefer the black ones over the greens or whites.
