Hi. Just purchased a pair of AM97 white/wolf grey in UK8.5. Feel a bit narrow in toe box especially on right foot. Also own AM1 25th anniversary in same size which stretched out nicely after a few wears. Does anyone know if AM97 leather stretches out the same as AM1 or are we looking at 0.5 up?

Cleaning out a closet I found the sticker pack that Came with the Kashimas. Wish it was the shoes I found.

97/Plus in church.
I think Nike should also let 97/Plus IDs available as well.
So far I didn’t like the 97/Pluses colorways so I’m glad I got this simple pair.

Doesn’t really stretch in my experience

Yeah AM1 you're talking one layer of synthetic vs multiple layers of synthetic/nubuck/leather on the 97s. Sounds like you need to size up for your 97s.

These are really nice in hand.. Narrow af tho, do they ease up over time? Not had non mesh 97s before.

Really?
In terms of toebox width both are narrow for me
My normal Air Jordan US size is 9.5
Any Air Max I had to 1/2 size up
That includes AM1 AM90 AM93 AM95 AM97

thats for me the case, you should never compare the sizing from jordans with AMs
because some of the AMs tend to runner smaller in the width or at the length

Did not like these @ first because they were extremely stiff, but after several wears they feel really comfortable. Love the "lux" style vibe it gives.
Does the high back bother your Achilles? There were a couple well below retail on StockX, but I never got them because I felt like they might be uncomfortable.
Initially, they were a lil uncomfortable, but they softened up after some wear. I got these below retail as well. Couldn't pass it up.

I’m really excited for the Seoul 97s. I know they’re not everyone’s cup of tea but I like the oversized swoosh a lot

After about 10 mins of walking in the throwback futures, the inside edge of the toeboxes have both started creasing really badly so they're going straight back.
It's that sharp a crease that they look like they're already starting to get stretch marks.
If you want them to look at - beautiful. Just don't wear em..
I'll add some photos later

Both are doing it but that one is worse.. By the time I got home (another 5 mins walk) both sides had started creasing.Oh man, that's horrible
