Olive 9s holiday 2024

[trappedintime]

The leather on these looks much better than I thought they would…At least on that pair…

Still a game time decision…Going to need to see them in person first…

It's definitely a better cut of leather across the board they went with on these. You can actually see some grain in every photo of the '24's. As opposed to the hard PU leather of the 2012's (and even comparatively, the powders from this year). Big win for those of us who love 9's!

Going back and forth on if I should get em on release day, or try and wait out for a sale.

Do they seem brown or olive to you in hand? Your pics are giving off a subtle, olive hue

There’s a slight tint of olive I would say.
These feel quality, that black leather is plush to the touch, it genuinely feels soft.

Charcoals are definitely due up, but these are the 9s I’ve always wanted vvv



No nonsense, gimmicks, or reimagining. This colorway just like this, just with 23.

Hearing all these things made me from waiting for a potential sale to buying on release day.

Need these to drop already. They loaded up on NDC.

I paid retail for these about a year and a half ago when they dropped, so Olive 9's are a definite release day pick up. No sale required.

 

[Kierris]

^^The hood loves those joints.. everybody had a pair.

 

[JRepp23]

Day 1 buy. I hope nobody cares for these. And the people that do, get em.

That aqua, teal, brown combo never flowed smoothly in my eyes. I just said IMA WAIT FOR OLIVES. Lol. Nice pick up though

It was such a trash colorway.

So, I ordered my first ever pair of Jordan 9’s, which is the olive colorway. Ordered my true size 11. Paid practically retail, but with shipping. For those that got them now, is that pinky toe issue still a thing? Are these even comfortable?


Here is my nostalgic story.

I was in the 9th grade when these retro’ed in March of 02. I mean this with all sincerity, but absolutely no one wanted these here in the DMV in 02. Even myself, I thought they were awful back then. They sat on shelves literally at every store. I remember them going as low as $50 with a full size run because no one wanted these. I also think the paint chipping issue played a factor from the white/black retro from January of that year. But, yeah, the olives didn’t sell well at all.

As I got older, they begin to grow on me. I remember some people in my elementary school wearing the 0G’s in 94, but I didn’t really know what they were, but I thought they were air jordan boots. Overall, I don’t like Jordan 9’s, but this will likely be the only color I’m going to get.

I tried these on at a local mom and pop shop, I'm between a 11.5 and 12, I tried on the 12 and the pinky was instantly an issue but nothing too crazy, I went to a 13 because they didn't have a half size and it was much better but I felt like a 12.5 would be ideal

You tried on The 2024 pair correct?

I’m not sure what your foot’s like so I won’t discount your experience but I’m going TTS on these. There’s no way going up from an 11 to a 12 would be a good fit for me on these shoes. Can’t fit much different than powders.

 

[Air_raw09]

Yes, I think a half size up should be good for anyone from my experience

I never owned a pair of 9s so yeah whatever works for you, my foot is on the wide side

 

[buddhashark]

I’m waiting for Nightwing to chime in. I don’t know what it is but black-based Js always tend to fit me tighter.

Gotchu! Thanks

 

[charmcitykid]

This is one of the main pairs i been looking forward to all year. This is a day 1 cop for facts. 2nd favorite colorway after charcoals.

 

[dmoore914]

9’s are known for being the least comfortable number. Half size up should be mandatory imo. Full size up if you have to.

 

[allergic2broke]

On the fence with these, I want them but don't think they will get much wear

My plan was to catch these for a steal and paint the teal red. Glad I waited around now I can get the real deal lol
