Pause

Nah that was blatant smh

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

Add cushioning.

Fix the toe amputating stitch in the front.

Def in for one pair. It’s a nice summer time pair that I’ll forget i have until the end of the summer lol

The shade of blue looks too light, and small jumpman as someone else mentioned. Still in though.

Will the heel feel like the OGs? These recent IXs feel like there is a rock in the heel. Think we will ever see JBC lows again?

That was my first reaction, but I think it just looks too light because the pics are filtered to death.

 

[headdetective]

I’m not trippin about shade if they giving us OG specs

 

[Gordonson]

It's disrespectful how they refuse to fix the mudguard on IXs. That would've put these in that modern Jordan XI Retro category of "not 100% accurate but damn close."

Still nice to see these come back with all of the details that they did get right.

Today is a good day

I want to know what other shoe that is accepted for the JM size to be half the size it should be.

 

[Kierris]

Thread proves nothing will ever be good enough for some of you cats. Unless one of you build a time machine, you aren't getting 1:1 specs for shoes created 30 years ago. They can get close but that's about it.

They can do it, they refuse to.

Lol

Baby Jordan

Way too bright

Those are the Kenny Smith UNC 9s

Again, don't base any color opinions off these first pics. They are clearly crazy saturated.

I know I may come off that way. Most of the time I have no problem with minor details being missed. But in this case, its not minor. I like the shoe for sure. If you have never owned a 9 with the original size JM then I can understand why it would not be a big deal. For years we wanted correct direction on the 11s. Imagine them making it smaller. They took the time to correct only half the problem here. As I said in another post, I like what I see.

I am! Nah.. OG specs are exciting on these but that blue (OG XIVs, Columbia XI soles, etc.) is a must for me. I also don't f w/ IXs like that. lol

 

[Quiggles706]

They could have done better, but it’s still a release day cop. Kinda mad they changed the blue though.

This is the StockX photo of the OGs. Proof that lighting can drastically affect the shade of blue. However, the wrong brighter shade was used last time they retrod the 10s so I wouldn’t put it past Nike to pooch these too.

These are looking good despite the hugely saturated photos. Will wait for better, less saturated pics before a final opinion.

Same here. They got the basics right, but they aren't changing the mold drastically. They aren't fixing the jumpman size or toebox on 9's yet.

I can live with not getting a 1:1 retro given the blue leather trim and lack of 23. But if this is pleather I'm going to be livid. That's all that really matters to me and the quality of these pics doesn't shed any light.

 

[nikekid6]

These fire..

But as I stated before … gimme more cg9s

I would buy a pair of those every year they released that’s how fire they are to me
