Will there be an SE version? I haven't seen an answer to this question yet.
i won't be getting this on release day, ill wait till they offer 50% discount on the stores
I have an M10 already
But this xx9 really is using the newest technology lighter and more durable.
lets not forget that the xx8 for 250 had a full shoe cover with neoprene like material. The xx8 SE which didnt retailed for 150 - 175.
So speaking of the xx9 which uses less material than the standard xx8 is expected have a lower retail.
somehow i doubt that the xx9 will get an SE version. Why? Because the initial xx9 already is a very light built shoe. The aj 2012 had a light version which dud not havecany leather upper. Xx8 without the shroud, 19 without the midfoot mudguard etc.
Yea, true.. I forgot about that. But less material doesn't mean less expensive material tho. Don't forget to come up with the new fly weave they had to invest in a new machines that makes the new material. It's one reason why flyknit stuff are expensive as well.
The 2012 lite wasn't actually any lighter. It was just a cheaper version that didn't perform nearly as well. Don't forget the really cheap looking version of the 2011 too.
Yeah, what was it called, Q Flight or something like that, the lower version 2011 that is.
I love the 18.5 and 19 SE, both were great looking sneakers.
yeah you are right. Now I remember. I think the best alternative design of any Air Jordans in my opinion are:
AJ17+ white/grey-cherrywood
AJ 17+ white/black-copper
AJ 18.5 white/black-silver
AJ 19 SE white/navy-gold and black/gold
AJ 21 SE and AJ 22 SE were not really cool.
You just reminded me of my college days.
Passed on the 17+ now with regrets because those might have played better than the regular and they looked awesome with MJ in the 21v40 commercial.
Passed on the 18.5 because they looked like toasters. Happy with two regular 18s back then.
Got the 19 SE, tbh..the fit wasn't as good as the regular 19. I had a problem with the fish-line wire coming through the tongue of the shoe and poking at my ankle. I still have my Blk/red, but the patent leather cracked.
Passed on the 21 all together. I thought they just look fat after comparing to the XX.
I had the 22 SE Chicago, I thought they looked great. Still have these too all beat up. Might donate them to goodwill soon.
So the 19 SE had a different fit?
Yeah, the only thing that shows some cracking is the patent and the area of creasing.
Nevertheless the patent quality was a bit better than on the AJ 11 in my opinion.
The 21 are somewhat fat indeed and don't look good casually with pants. I only wear them
with basketball shorts in the summer. The ankle part isn't as comfortable compared to the
AJ 16, 17 18 and 19.
Yea, the 19 SE fit different. I had heel slips with the SE and overall didn't feel as secure on the upper. The quality was awesome for sure. The only problem I had with the regular pair was the lace was garbage. Don't know what they were thinking when they gave us dress shoe laces,
i see.
concerning the thin laces that came with initially (standard laces were packed as alternative) i never have issues with them because the lace lock works very well. I just balled in mine (west coast edition).
Cushioning is still very soft.
