all i want is this shoe to be more comfortable than the recent air way up retro. those were really bad: brick midsole, gray cheap insole. really bad.
XIV deconstruction. Finally convinced these have zoom air. :D i have yet to try or buy the recent retro so i have no clue if the zoom really works.

thanks for the feedback on the zoom not existent on the earlier version. i hope there would be some semblance of zoom on the flight 96 kobe PEs. if not then im sticking with the olympics with the big discount of course.

really love the smell of xx9s. totally different to other brands and models.
finally tried the xx9 low infrared. i concur with some of the observation here. from a casual wear standpoint, i couldnt feel the forefoot zoom at all. And you have to tie them real tight to get a good fell of the upper.
if you meant the red nike with the big swoosh --> http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:259317/sku:32759600/nike-big-swoosh-mens/red/white/?cm=QUICK%20VIEW%3A%20MORE%20INFO
i would go for j crossover 2 lows by brandblack.
Fit was an issue with the mids to some so they changed the material of the upper on the lows. Cushioniong/tooling is the same on both variants which is very firm and bouncy foam.
