Official Air Max 97 Thread

What would you do differently?
The only things I would change is putting the mini swoosh on the black part of the upper, and adding the penny logo on the tongue. What else would you change?
-Have mesh only on the tongue

-Have the vamp and its overlays be nubuck

-Put some blue on the black overlay on the tongue

-Have a Penny logo on the tongue instead of the swoosh

-The tint on the sole is a little too blue (minor beef)

-Made the midsole and air bubble pillars blue

I would I liked them to use real posite or something that mimicked it, but I am not crazy, I know Nike is not gonna put in effort to pull that off.

Need ebates to hit 8-10% again soon so I can pull the trigger on a couple more IDs.

Already have a 20% off code, but I’m being stingy and want those ebates to push me into must purchase.

So there are two NBA designed AMs so far (Tatum AM97s and the Fox AM1s)... I wonder if there’ll be more?

i'm such a purist about my city, he ain't from the city... lol... but the shoes kinda dope.
 
I’m a TTS 12 but go .5 up in my 97s. Has anyone ever had to go up a full size and if so are they just huge? Lol There’s a couple colorways I want but can’t find a 12.5 so I’m thinking of trying a 13
 
^the only 97's I have are the black/volt that released in 2017

I had the black/volt that released years ago in Asia and the 2017 seems to fit larger than the older pair I had from what I remember

for reference, I got the 2017 in size 10

usually wear 9.5 in most of my shoes I have but can go down to size 9 on shoes like dunks, forces, AJ1...have to size down to a size 9 on number sized prestos (otherwise XS if not numbered)

I've done it once when the Skeptas were released overseas and I wasn't right with the conversion. I'm an 11.5 TTS but get 12 in 97's. Got a US 12.5 and they were definitely too big and I had to let them go.
