Official 2012 "Cool Grey IX" Retro Thread December 15th

I really want these, but spending $175 for them is really discouraging.  Especially since I had bought the Charcoals for $100 with tax 2 years ago from FNL.

The Charcoals came out in September of 2010, Finish Line had them on sale in December.for $109.

I actually got the charcoals from my local FTL on sale for $110 and a $30 off coupon and ended up paying just $73. STEAL!
 
I remember buying these while I was in hs...kinda want them for nostalgia purposes...i remember the midsoles paint chipping really bad on my pair.

 How did you calculate that? $110-$30=$80 with no tax.

Does anyone know why NDC is straying from the "twitter link only" for this release, and other upcoming releases?

My bad it was early in the morning bro haha.
But yeah I remember it came out to $73. So I think the price was below $110. I just remember getting them for $73
 
Will not get theses ;; I don't see all the hype around 9s

I lived in DC for about 5 years. First few years out there Jordan only owned the Wizards, then in 2002 he decided to play for the Wizards and he wore these (Cool Grey Jordan 9), that is what the hype is about. Wether you are someone like myself who grew up watching Jordan since the 80's or a yonger person who washed his hightlights or latter part of his career or have older people in your life who put you on to Jordan, ya already the shoes that the man Jordan himself wore in games is going to sell. I'll be the first to admit if he didn't play in these I would just stick to my OG collection, then again he never wore any of the OG colors in a game, so I'd say it makes this Cool Greay colorway even more special, being the only Jordan 9 he wore in game.

I will also admit the fact that these are the first Jordan 9's that Jordan played in at times I find myself calling these, because yes although a retro, they are still in a sense OG colorway.
