First Look: Air Jordan 2K9 / 2009 (real pix)

[deathmetaldbh]

Thanks for the pics but I probably wont spend $190 for these though. If they discount them....Maybe but $190.

This always happens to me.
First thoughts - JB are you serious???
Then - When the production pairs show up I usually fall in love with them. So I can't make a decision on these yet. Only time will tell.

@ 160.

These are hot man. 3M flecks in the laces? Nice. Sticky runner inserts? Nice. Reflected "Jordan" font? DOPE. 190? Deal Breaker. I just wish thesimilarity to the XIV wasn't quite so close. Better than the XX3s though.

Might not be the final insole design......... and in case you hadn't seen them, here's the insole from the XX3 which costs a whole $5 less.

Like I said before, I think...

... those are hot.

They're not awful.... but if that's the final design for the upper they need to come up with some decent colorways.
They should also look at turning out at least one decent GR black colorway that doesn't rely on patent.

Is it just me of does it look like the heel won't be stable enough to play ball in?

It seems kinda narrow and high, which seems like it would be easy to roll over.

 

[iriepirate21]

Mehhh..... You can't even see a Jumpman logo on the shoe. Pretty damn boring if you ask me.

 

[from da south06]

%** those look just like low black xx3's...trash i can spend 190 or even 160 somewhere else

Look at the tongue.... Would help if the Jumpman was a different color however.

 

[daffy 016]

still ugly...reminds me of the 14s but damn these look like thrash...

 

[downyboy]

hmmmm, i'll reserve judgment

 

[flintgrey]

For those thinking these are just samples, think again. These are about as accurate to the final product as you will see.

 

[s dubl]

Not too bad.......not too good either.

I think I'll stick with Nike retro for now.....

 

[arff23]

One thing I noticed already is the "JORDAN" font they have this year...It reads Jordan both ways...Upside down and upright...Pretty clever...

They are already looking better but this one angle SCREAMS XIV!!!!!...

 

[nikeflightposite]

I like them a lot

 

[popcorn playa 24]

IMO, the black version is head and shoulders above the white... That being said, I dont think either would be successful if they didnt come in a Jordan box. The lack of branding on this is suprising. I am not sure if I am missing most of it, but these could easily be a Reebok or almost an Adidas shoe if Jordanwasnt written on the shoe a few times and the insole didnt have a Jumpman.

 

[abircek]

very very very promising detailed and well executed shoes such a huge development after the 1-23 series has the design similarities but totally different fromothers gonna be a love/hate one but with right colors especially pe.s they are gonna be talked alot also details and ideas matched flawlessly

 

[jordanlovah]

wow...i won't jump to a verdict just yet, but based on these pics, ez PASS!

thanks for the pics tho. i'll wait to see these in person....i hear the commercial
for these should be cool...about the dude who beat out jordan for varsity in hs
