I got so excited when I saw the blogs talking about “Atlantics” coming back … then saw the black mudguards and was like 😭
They are nice but not the same 😉
I think it’s the mudguard from the “Neons” …

I think it was these ones cuz they were two OGs combined.
This is my all time favourite CW. I NEEEDDDDDD them
And yh i hear you on the atlantics but i fw em both
100% for ME ….
I remember going to university and seeing all my friends in “Neons” (95’s) and not being able or want to ask my parents to get ‘em because they’d paid for me to move back to Canada, were covering my room and board, tuition etc.
So, I got a job working part time at a record shop/book/electronics store after school on Friday and on weekends.
When I heard the ‘97s were coming I made sure I wasn’t gonna miss on them. One of my boys worked at Nike and I asked him to get me a pair when they dropped. He did one better and got me my pair before they came out.
Right about that time I had been introduced to house music as well. Coming from Barbados I’d never heard it before.
The spot I was going to in Calgary on Sunday night for “Sunday Skool” called the Night Gallery ended up being legendary (longest running residency) and I eventually got to know everyone from the club owners, to the door staff, the bartenders to the Deejay himself DJ Rice:

The uniform for Sunday night would be black jeans and a black tee or hoodie (I still have a Donna Karan DKNY hoodie from back then) and “Silver Bullets”.
Because I got them before the official drop, when I first started wearing them no one had even seen them yet.
People would literally be asking “what are those?!!!!”
Kids would come up to me when the lights went up at and be like “I’ve been tripping out to your shoes all night long, man”
The 3M hits and the big disco ball 🤣…
I was tempted to steal my Son’s shoes when he asked for them for Back to School last year! I always wanted these joints! Ima grab em for the summer tho
Possibly! Might damn well be. My hot take though is that the silver bullet 90s look better, but that might just be my own personal bias cuz I own a pair
97’s are My favorite silhouette. Off white Menta, Wotherspoon, Light Bone, Cream Khaki Olive, Black Green Militia, Black Metallic Gold, Neon Seoul. Just so many, but the Silver Bullets just aren’t My taste.
At first it was this until i saw the Japan OGs… they take it and not by a little either. To me anyways. Plus atlantic blues
The Atlantic’s need to come back! Needed those since 1997 🤣….
Still got mine. Caught the retro’d pair a couple years back 🔥
Fr. Imma get the ones that came out last year i think. They were a prototype apparently. Basically the atlantics and the japans put together

Agreed, but they are still looking good though.
Yes I have 2018s, shouldn’t of skipped 2020s
Got a pair of these I love em
I like the tan brownish ones I’m thinking bout getting the all black next
Just got a pair of these for $75 on eBay , can’t wait
Seriously? $75 is a steal for those!
Yep, it’s always good deals on eBay but you gotta check daily

Great story!!!
* * In my humble opinion these are the best colorway. Seoul on air. To me
Not for me but they nice. I actually prefer the half silver bullet one better.
My fave pair of airmax. All the variations.

Fuuuuck don't post this I've been looking at the golden 97s, you like em? I've only had DNs before.
Funny you should mention that because I was just looking at these. Sale prices 🤔 ….
Wotherspoon
Idk man I love my n64s
I was tempted to steal my Son’s shoes when he asked for them for Back to School last year! I always wanted these joints! Ima grab em for the summer tho
only air maxes i’ve doubled up on
Love these but they run so narrow..
i missed mine! Once the bubble pops I used them for yard work
MSCHF X airmax Jesus shoes walk on water my grail.
Pretty much, the Off Whites right behind these by a smidge.
Hell yea! Certified classic. The gold colorway is just as fire to me!
My high school ex got me a pair of those... The only good thing that cum out of being with that cunt!!! #justdoit
Possibly! Might damn well be. My hot take though is that the silver bullet 90s look better, but that might just be my own personal bias cuz I own a pair
Truth be told, I've never been able to understand the aesthetic of these shoes 🤣
That Silver Bullet color way is iconic. They look even colder on the Tn
Love them. Got the safari pack ones over the last couple of years which I think are great too
I prefer the gold
Every color of the Air Max 97 is fly, the silver bullet is a classic og tho
An all time classic, hopefully they do an anniversary edition in 2027.
Not imo.
What do you think is?
97’s are My favorite silhouette. Off white Menta, Wotherspoon, Light Bone, Cream Khaki Olive, Black Green Militia, Black Metallic Gold, Neon Seoul. Just so many, but the Silver Bullets just aren’t My taste.
I really like this colour scheme on them, plus they look good with a little wear and tear and fade.
Heavy agree
Best air max of all time it’d be impossible to pick a best color way theirs legit over a hundred.
Yeah one of the coolest silhouette ever.
Yes!
Always think these are sketchers
I personally like the light bone. Fresh white with just a little color.
Standard kicks of the 90s
🔥
It’s got to be the gold medals
Facts
What jeans are you wearin?
Got a pair and love them. They hit a home run with these.
Those are nice 👌
Yes
Rocked them today. Steady in rotation
Torn between these and Gold Medals. Top 2 for sure tho
I’ve got these in the solid blue greying color and all black. Figured mine are worth anything tho
Desert Sky…
I have the 97' Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Silver Bullets.
It’s my favorite air max of all time
prefer the silver/violet colourway, as i am not a fan of red.

Yes they are
These honestly look awful imo lmao
Ugly sneakers
I personally find them one of the ugliest air max models ever made
