It’s been confirmed 
What we need to know is if they’re gonna correct the outsole.

OG’s I presumes?
That was said to be a first look. But twitter accounts can be wrong so who knows. Definitely could be wrong about being a 1st look, I didn't see anybody else like sneakerbardetroit pick it up but I haven't had much time today to research it further

It’s easy to forget how nice the OG 9s were. Current retros are truly garbage.

I see them getting everything BUT the Jumpman size and direction correct.

I’ll never understand why they would decrease the size of the jumpman logo. Of all the changes you could make, that one makes absolutely no sense from a brand perspective. The jumpman direction I can at least see the flawed logic behind.

With a shoe so simple, you would think they would want the Jumpman as large as it possibly can be in that area. For them to shrink it down in 2010 never made sense to me. Ironically these were the last original color retro that got the correct size.

They NEED the blue edges. They better put really good leather on them too.

No 23 and the blue edges are the 2 true big things for me on this retro. The Jumpman size/direction isn't a deal breaker for me. Honestly, I might even be able to overlook a 23 on the back if they got the blue edges.

The jumpman size and direction is the main thing keeping me away from 9s. I won’t buy any until they fix that. I also wouldn’t buy if they have the 23 or lack the blue edges.No 23 and the blue edges are the 2 true big things for me on this retro. The Jumpman size/direction isn't a deal breaker for me. Honestly, I might even be able to overlook a 23 on the back if they got the blue edges.
There’s pretty much zero chance that they get all of that right so these aren’t really on my radar, as much as I’ve always wanted a pair.

Idk if it's because I still have my original pairs or what, but I just don't care about the Jumpman issue. Like at all. I'll just have to see what we're getting before I make up my mind on these Powders. I remember a lot of folks being confused/mad that they didn't have a 23 on them back when they originally dropped.
That said, there's a couple of things that would likely be deal breakers when they get around to redoing the Charcoals, but who knows when that will happen.

The main detail for me is the outsole being correct with the Jumpman direction, the the blue outline, then the 23 (this is going to be hit or miss). I believe they should just scan a 1994 pair outsole like they did with the Jordan 2s.

I will NOT buy any 9’s until they retool the midsole with the correct jumpman direction and size. I really would like to see the blue edges but not counting on it. Pretty indifferent about the 23 on the back or not. I always thought it was strange the OG never had it.

Were the OG 9s comfortable? My first pair of 9s were the 2018 Breds and they might be my most uncomfortable pair of Jordans.

Yes. Only issue was if someone stepped on your foot it would cause the plastic lace holders to dig into your foot. Not an issue for casual wear, obviously.

I repeat this ad nauseam on here, the old polyurethane midsoles that they used through about 2005 were much lighter and softer, but also yellowed and crumbled sooner than what’s currently used.
Even the phylon midsoles have gotten firmer over the years.
