Nike Air Max 97 Air Force 1
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 1, 2008|
Quite a while ago we first got a sneak peek at an Air Max inspired series of Air Force Ones and though all have made their way out, the AM 97’s were not included in the party that happened a couple months ago. Initially, the Air Max 97 Air Force 1 was going to be a special edition quickstrike that featured a first ever, full length Max Air sole. Unfortunately, according to an undisclosed source, the factory made a little boo-boo and assembled the shoes incorrectly causing them to be reproduced without an any visible air. The Air Max 97 Air Force Ones still come with a leather lining, 3M reflective on the upper, metallic mesh on the side panel and tongue as well as other details the clearly draw parallels to the Air Max 97. This sneaker will release tomorrow, Saturday, August 2nd for $125 to Urban Edge doors. Much thanks to Proper for the shots of a side-by-side comparison. |

I am not sure what exactly what went wrong only that things were messed up. Some have said that the factory assembled them with the heel Air Max unit, and others have said otherwise. Eitherway, I am very disappointed myself, but at least my pocket has $200 more in it

I think I dig the messed up pair better than the original idea. Should have made the swoosh red though and maybe a black sole. Still hot either way.

The colorway is clean on the end result…but I LOVE THE SAMPLES BETTER!! They could have put some reflective laces also to spice up the sneakers!! I would pay the $175 for that! The end result is nice - Ill pass!

I didn’t like the full length air so whatever. I dont even like the air max sole we have been getting…

I’m not really feeling the ones in the bottom picture too much.
I wanna see the placement of the 3M on the releasing ones. And complete 3M laces would get me hard, lol.
