Air Max 97 “Triple White” rose 17% this week, and a size 8 now costs $143
From size 8 to 12, only an 8 and an 8.5 still sell under retail. Size 11 went the other way, down $62 this week to $234.
The cheapest new Air Max 97 “Triple White” is now $143, in size 8. A week ago the same size cost $122, so the low went up $21 (17%).
So yes, it was cheaper earlier this month. Since my checks began on September 29, the cheapest pair in sizes 8 to 12 sat at $122 until November 5, then jumped to $143. That makes $122 the lowest I've recorded and today's $143 the highest.
Only two sizes under retail
Retail is $160, and from size 8 to 12 just two sizes still sell under it:
- $143 in size 8, $17 under retail
- $151 in size 8.5, $9 under retail
The other seven ask more than retail, from $179 for a 10 up to $298 for a 10.5.
What moved
Not every size went up. Size 10 fell $30 to $179, and size 11 dropped $62 to $234. Both are the lowest I've seen for those sizes since I started tracking. Size 12 went the other way: it's up $62 to $262.
| US size | Nov 8 | Nov 1 | Vs retail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | $143 | $122 | −$17 |
| 8.5 | $151 | $145 | −$9 |
| 9 | $205 | $194 | +$45 |
| 9.5 | $198 | $206 | +$38 |
| 10 | $179 | $209 | +$19 |
| 10.5 | $298 | $294 | +$138 |
| 11 | $234 | $296 | +$74 |
| 11.5 | $258 | $258 | +$98 |
| 12 | $262 | $200 | +$102 |
The table puts this week's price next to last week's and shows how far each size is from retail. Outside the 8 to 12 range, three more sizes sell under retail: a size 14 is $70 ($90 under), a size 7 is $121 and a 7.5 is $132.
If you wear an 8 or an 8.5, I'd still buy: even after the jump you pay less than retail. In sizes 9 to 12, every size asks over retail, and sizes 10 and 11 just showed those prices can move, so I'd wait. Other pairs are on the Air Max 97s under retail page.
