Official Air Jordan XX9 post! 1st two released 9/6/14! NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

[spoonmanofthehour]

Is there a wider release for PR or no?

So far it's looking like a no.

 

[bradnon]

I love those ASG PE's as well as the turquoise (I think?) colored pair Westbrook was wearing. Hope we see at least one of them drop.

On a positive note, my Photo Reels should be here tomorrow. Will definitely have some HQ photos up, may shoot my other 29s tomorrow as well.

How'd you manage to nab them?

I did see them on the bay for round $350. But I don't want to pay that resell especially after the amount of money I spent this week.

That's unfortunate

Had a friend in NYC grab them for me. I was very lucky as he grabbed me the last size 11 at Flight 23. If I hadn't gotten them at retail, I don't think I could drop the $350 on eBay. It's typically on to the next for me.

Cool. I have a brother in NYC but I didn't want to drag him into my sneaker insanity.

Haha understandable. Fortunately for me, my friend was already venturing out in an attempt to grab the Laser 4s

What was the retail on these and how much were they coming out to with the NY tax??

 

[glassankles]

Where in NY can I get the PRs still?

 

[nytaped]

Check Flight23, SNKRS station, Pearl Pavilion or 166 Flatbush and NTNY or 21M

 

[slick]

pearl pavilion still up? thought it was only for the weekend

Haven't seen the box in person yet, so I'm not positive. I paid $260 (tax + shipping to WI included), so my thought is $225 box price

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

$225 plus 8.875% tax...so about $245.

They look better up close IMO

Shoes are real clean, but I straight up can't stand Westbrook. Dude was out there doing anything he could to get the MVP.....stealing rebounds from teammates, hustling twice as much as he does for the Thunder, lookin off wide open alleys to take 3's......then I had to see him in those horrible True Religion commercials. Dude is an athletic freak no question, but I don't see how people buy into his whole "persona." Seems like a jerk to me. /rant

i feel you brah,,he wants to be the main MAN in OKC wc i dont think its gonna happen ever as long as Durantula is on his team,,anywys,,IMO XX9 is overpriced

 

[Magic33]

Way too much Westbrook bashing

but all I have to say

Durant gets 30

Now come up with another 70 for the team to win

Durant AND Westbrook have to put up points on that team.

Westbrook is the heart, soul and fire of that team. That team needs an alpha dog.

Maybe it's just my personal opinion.

I admittedly don't watch the Thunder that often, as I'm a Hornets fan, but I have certainly seen him give up late in games. I've certainly seen him shoot the Thunder out of games when he should be looking to involve Teammates (like Durant), give (albeit funny) disrespectful interviews, etc.

As far as persona, I'm just talking about his "me first" attitude. The whole fashionista thing he has going on with those True Religion commercials just rubs me the wrong way. He just strikes me as the guy knocking on the door of the Cool Kids Club who really really really wants to prove to you that he's a member so that he can go show everyone his membership card.

Didn't mean to derail anything, and I def wouldn't knock anyone who likes him as a player. I'm sure you have players that rub you the wrong way as well.

There is literally no one in the league who plays harder than westbrook.

Man it was an all star game. for fun.  the players probably encouraged him to shoot becauase he was on fire. The hate on Westbrook is ridiculous. He is a top 5 player in the NBA and any team in the NBA would love to have him. No one plays harder or with more passion than westbrook. 

He gets unneeded hate just because Durant is on his team. But in reality, he is not some scrub who should just defer. He is a star and should be able to play without all the ridiculous criticisms

 

[glassankles]

Can someone hook me up with a sz11 PRs

 

[carolinakickg]

Everyone entitled to their opinion. Didn't mean to upset / offend / cause anyone to get heated. My b. Back to the kicks.

 

[cubanref]

This pair is so much nicer than the ones that released...and I'm not even a fan of white shoes but these are

Can't wait for the XX9 to start hitting the outlets so I can get a pair for the gym

I respectfully disagree...especially since it's the 30th anniversary.

Released version > the PE

I personally prefer these over the all white ASG release as well. I do wish they'd stop with the clear outsoles though.

 

[bradnon]

Anyone have the FTL sku for the "Team Orange" release?

 

[laokratwr]

Its the whole kobe thing.

Westbrook plays like mj, kobe, etc.

When kobe was in his prime the whole team play movement was going real hard with nash winning two mvps and lebron playing like magic on steroids

People started wanting every damn player to play like a point guard

Tho westbrook is a pg he plays more like a shooting guard with the instincts to kill and the desire to have the outcome of the game in his hands.

Alot of people think thats selfish. I dont

This is the first argument that moved my poor opinion on westbrook like 5% north .

Kudos .
