Was about to say same thing. I like them enough to keep my pair but wish the leather was nicer, the mudguard was higher and Jumpman bigger. But the shape is better than I thought and they look good overall.The truth is somewhere in the middle. These are not a terrible retro by any means, we’ve had Waaaaay worse, even among 9s alone. That said, not an outstanding retro either. They didn’t knock these out the park like they could have. Overall, an ok-good retro depending how picky you are and how much you like 9’s.
Yeah there’s context to all of it. These are a better shape than any IX retro I have and that’s ultimately where I’m at. OG colorways better than they’ve been retro’d to date.Was about to say same thing. I like them enough to keep my pair but wish the leather was nicer, the mudguard was higher and Jumpman bigger.

Honest assessment: If I was confident we’d see these again in better form in 5-7 years, and if I was 10 years younger, I might’ve sent back my pair and waited. But since that’s not the case, I’m still pretty happy to have these.
We’re getting two this year, wouldn’t be surprised if we get 2-3 more next year. I wouldn’t rule out charcoals yet. I almost expect them to be a Black Friday or fall release in 2025.cool greys in 2025?Why does JB hate the Charcoals so much?? At this point it’s almost like a sleeper colorway, yet it was arguably the second most popular colorway back in 94’. Was my favorite 9 back then and still is today.
My only thought is that in ‘94 they were more popular cuz they were THE black/red Jordan, whereas now they’re just one of them.cool greys in 2025?Why does JB hate the Charcoals so much??

Who said either of those were popular Jordans? Where are you seeing this?Wonder when people decided the Olives were better or more popular than Charcoals. Could never be me lol.
