Air Jordan IX Wht/Blk/Red First Look **8/7/10 Release**

[mjmoney23]

"It's funny how yall always think the past release is always better than a newer retro"

Agreed.


As for the paint chip problems, the Powders were great, I wore them for 2 weeks in Poland and there is no chipped paint what so ever.

School me on these, the OG jumpman logo is the same with theCDP's? or the 2010?

CDPs.

Been waiting for those to release. Pretty nice.

 

[shpongled25]

CDP " I believe"




I would go with the CDP version anyday

No problem at all. And thanks for the replies guys.
IMO I would say both of these shoes are equally comfortable when worn. The midsole on the CDP's (lower pic) is bigger therefore, bigger jumpman on the heel which is reversed on the 2010 version (top pic). The leather on the CDP's is slightly better.

I would highly suggest that you NOT sleep on this shoe. You will regret it. If you can get a discount on them even better, do it. Don't sleep on this!

In comparison, the CDP pair looks 10x better than the 2010 version.

At first I was like

After looking at the new pics, I can't settle for that.    Look at how different the toe box looks.

If I can find a CDP pair of another 2002 pair for less than $180, I will be happy.

 

[crumbs]

no bueno.

Jordan brand is an epic fail. Can some tell my why the toddler and pre-school have the jump man facing the original direction????

Nothing surprises me with Jordan Brand anymore.   They used durabuck leather on the kids sizes for the Varsity 6's, and gave the Men's sizes nubuck/suede type. 

Go figure.

My boy got a pair of the 2010's early from PYS, I compared them with my CDP's today. Except for the Jumpman, the only real difference I notice in the white leather used. It's thicker/glossier on the 2010's, seems a little nicer, the leather on the CDP's is super thin, but that's about it.

 

[Magic33]

I'll wait until they go on sale. I need another pair. No rush, the Carolina and Citrus are still sitting here.

It took like five years for my 2002's to chip.

 

[eod0807]

i saw these at champs the othe day...i dunno i used to think these were hot...now they seem a little over done and have lost any appeal with me

 

[reload n reup]

the reversed jumpman looks dumb as hell

 

[yurcoffinormine]

I wear all my shoes, so spare me your advice, and I can say that because I owned the 2002 wht/flint grey, and they chipped badly within a matter of wears.  Even bck then NTers had similar complaints.  Weren't you a reg here in 2002? 

 

[rl treyce]

who makes these decisions to reverse the jumpman, where is the consistency?

 

[mjmoney23]

02 White/Black IX were horrible in terms of paint chipping. Mine chipped after a few wears. My 2010 powders have not chipped yet, and I wore them for 2 weeks straight at one point.

 

[nstyn823]

Love this colorway....

@ heads doin' a 180 on the CDP IX's. Some of you were bashing them, now you're praising them. NTers are so fickle.

[dmvbatman]

you can hardly tell the difference between the CDP's and the 010's, well in my opinion.

I'm cool with my carolina blue's, love them to death, makes me even happier to know alot of ppl down here chose the 2's instead and passed on the 9's.

9's are not a fav down here seems like.

Well when you compare them to the 2010's, it would be easy to do a 360.
