Official Air Max 97 Thread

[Magic33]

The Kanye era is coming to a close imo. It's weird to me that nobody acknowledges they scrambled his brains. Right after he said they would. In front of thousands of people. Dude hasn't been heard from since. And some people just sit there wondering when the current 350 is going to stop lol

It's the biggest elephant in the room since Patrice O'Neal.

Thanks to whatever he tried to warn us about his time is done. I think the Yeezy phase is on it's deathbed. Soon irrelevance will do it's thing and Nike will retro their yeezys and put the nail in it.

but they'll have Drake

Hoping I can find someone who's willing to size swap my 9 for their 8.5. If you've got an 8.5, hit me up NT fam!

same, My 7.5 dont fit too bad but i wonder what a 7 would feel like....

And to have them in hand is a pleasure. One of the few times i hold a nike shoe and say it feels like a truly quality shoe, the materials and colors all work perfectly together. Dont get completely discouraged fellas, i literally have struck out every single time on snkrs, never won once, until this release where i entered just for the laughs because i knew i wasnt going to get drawn at all, but to my very much still surprised self, i got through. i was one of those who said id just trade them for something else if i won but having them in hand has changed that and i will be rocking these beauties #TeamManual

CR7 Portugal Patchworks

Damn I missed this. Too busy snoozing.

 

[rolintag]

Come to terms that I won’t be getting the SW’s after seeing their market. Been eyeing a pair of skeptas so they’ll be my consolation prize

 

[norcalhussla]

you think the SW's will settle around 500-550?

 

[checks mcgee]

Every 97 I see after the SW's is a snoozefest. Yeah I'm still depressed

Lol ****** really depressed over corduroy clown shoes. Hype is a helluva drug. Gimme the SB's over the SW's anyday.

Same here. i just plan on hitting some other good to great release....sell em...and cop for resale.

Hype caught most of you. Nobody kept that same energy when these dropped.

Not I. I started purchasing **** even before the L's. This is why I'm still holding the faith....just in stockx now.

 

[Magic33]

I love the backlash a shoe receives once they're popular and are hard to get. It's all hype. They're ugly.

Naw, I didn't want them anyway

 

[jking0821]

I really liked the SW's but from a 97 stand point...i still think both UNDFTD pairs are better and so were the skeptas. And of course the silver bullets and italy golds. So when i took the SW L i wasn't too upset just on to the next

Also took an L on all of the other pairs and forever have a low ball offer out there for the skeptas on GOAT

 

[Noto]

Silver Bullets, Japan and Atlantic Blues are the best colorways of the model for me personally.

Stuff like the Sean Wotherspoon sneakers are more of a novelty item than an actual sneaker. Some of you guys talked about stuff getting old with Adidas a couple pages back - the oldest trick in the book is making something artificially scarce. Weird that never get's old.

 

[dakidbanks]

eBay seller I bought the red CR7s from for $320 says his order from unisports got cancelled so he refunded me.. looks like I’ll be joining the club in taking that L on SNKRS on the 24th and being sleep during the surprise overseas drops

I may be in the minority of wanting the red CR7s over the SWs.... they’re nice but I just don’t care for em that much and the hype did nothing for me... just my opinion tho

 

[millzszn93]

the salt thickens

 

[Smithbeentrill]

I’m a loud cw kinda guy so SWs were always appealing to me. Along with the Sbs

 

[All Ready]

man please the 97/1s are hard

i gave up all my shoes with air units minus aj 3s and curry 90s but was gonna make an exception to get these

I only keep shoes that’ll last close to forever but these are clean enough to buy anyway cause I know I’d wear them a lot

my collection is mostly dunk sb’s, af 1’s and aj 1’s and random styles and brands sprinkled in

I like other 97s too but I’m off air units

 

[munchy]

only going to go up

these are beautiful shoes in hand, especially all the details

 

[duncarooos]

These are nice.

clown shoes?

u trippin. they're dope af.

 

[KingCloudIX]

clown shoes?

u trippin. they're dope af.

Trippin...heavy. I wanted them real bad..still do...but not 500+ bad... unless I make money from some other heat I’m not too interested in. Stockx will be the move.

 

[over30andwhat]

Recieved these from JD. The quality is ok but the lace tips had some brown funky/sticky gunk on it, I’m guessing glue but not actually sure. The extra laces have different colour lace tips as too. For those that care these came in a black Nike box(similar to Nikelab releases) but with a lid and not a pull out box

 

[djmackee]

Toddler SW's dropping in europe on the 7th. How can one cop from the US?

 

[rg92]

Got a mail that my CR7 pair got shipped.
I only got a size 7.5 but that's ok.
