Not from what has been talked about ...emphasis on premium materials, more of a luxury themed basketball shoe.

^ I agree. Like the 18's that were overpriced because they had a briefcase....
Video is pretty dope. 29 seconds. Also noticed they're following 29 people on Instagram as well , with Russ being 29th. Lol.
It seems a lot of XX8s didn't even last that longas long they dont last only 29 times of wearing and cost 290 usd its ok XD
Jacques Slade tweeted that he'll be covering it live: http://www.kustoo.com/air-jordan-xx9-launch-liveblog/ or here http://www.kustoo.com/jordan-xx9/What time is the event tomorrow and does anyone know if they'll live blog it?
Not getting my hopes up either.I predict disappointment, and I'm usually an optimist.
My predictions for the unveiling tomorrow:
- lack of design with emphasis on performance
- big *** out of place jumpman (i.e. Air Jordan 2012)
- hypebeast colorway
- hack concept
- minimal "premium" materials
- some type of shroud or covering
- revised flight plate
- over the top pricing
I'm still anxious to see it but preparing for a let down per usual.
Agreed on what you say about Blake for sure.I like Russell Westbrook but he don't have the appeal to be the XX9 front man, or the XX8. I wanna see JB do more with Blake cuz dude way more marketable. Plus Blake can act, I'd like to see those commercials [emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

My only guess -- and this could be way off, is that JB wants a dynamic player with similar characteristics to MJ. Blake is freakishly athletic and a high flyer, but maybe since Russell is at the guard spot and a bit more of a playmaker has something to do with it. Again, just speculating
fixed
The XX8 wasa great design that waslet down by a lot.of lame colorways
Once again, JB finds a way to give ya'll less, call it "high tech".... and charge you morePlease no more super soft and thin outsoles and dumb unlocked zoom units.
