We had a preview featuring some of the upcoming Jordan Brand Retro models for the later half of 2015, and the Air Jordan 9 was one that was featured in the mix.
This pair looks to feature a White/ Olive look to it, along with some nice splatter along the midsole… something we haven’t yet seen on an AJ9 before this. From a distance, the shoe looks White/ Gold which would have been epic, but these will have their place in some people’s rotations.
The leather looks nice form what we can see, and anything has to be better than previously release 9’s… the 9 line has probably used the worst materials of all the Retro models to date.
Check out the lasted look below, you can see a better image here, and share your thoughts on them in the comment section.
I am not a huge Jordan 9 fan but wow those look amazing!
A small, but noticeable thing I see is that it looks like they are gonna put back the bottom plastic speed lace loop! They were taken out on the retros because they were quite bothersome when the shoes were tied tight for games. Nice to see that they’re putting them back on since no one really plays in them anymore. If your knees can survive the break in process they’re a decent shoe to ball in.
They couldn’t put the Jumpman facing the proper direction on the left shoe though lol
OGs faced opposite directions and I believe all the retros do the same. I am still annoyed that they changed that with the recent retro XI mids. Smh…
Retro the flint 9’s. that’s what I’m waiting for.
Always wanted a pair. Wont buy them as my feet would just be in bits- sames as with 10 s and 11s. Wouldn’t mind retros with modern tooling like fly wire, better cushioning etc but looking exactly the same – some idea for you Nike
Abby news on the Jordan 30 XXX or 2015 or whatever it’ll be called? If I’m not mistaken last year in April they gave us or first look at the 29…
