Official Air Jordan XX9 post! 1st two released 9/6/14! NO BUYING/SELLING/TRADING!

It's a shame because this is the best silouhette on a Jordan signature since the XX3 and they're missing left and right.

Thought they are starting to grow on me simply because I'm really interested in a pair for hooping and so I have to just bite the bullet on one of these.

Highly recommended for hoop and I definitely agree.  The template is great here and they could do so much more.

I think an id option would be a success, the price tag would be a little high but still .. they're too good on court to be overlooked.

I wonder how feasible it would be to do the same as the Adidas ZX Flux. You can submit photos that can be printed on the shoe, with limitations of course.

They need to release the PR's to the masses

PR"s are hands down still the hardest.

hypothetically, if it were at all possible, I'd assume that they'd give almost zero flexibility.. probably variations of the existing patterns, I'd even be happy with the YOTG option. I feel like jordan brand is saving the real potential of performance woven for the AJ30. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a few "defining moments".. listen to me daydreaming. The possibilities are endless.

Westbrook had a cool PE on last game. What irritates me is that I see cool PE's, but then they drop garbage like those wavy ones above. Then they wonder why the new sig sits on shelves.

Agree. They're gonna release that green mint swirl mess, all the while Oregon is runnin in these!!!

After the Photo Reels, it's possible. It really comes down to cost.

The shoe already "costs" $225. An iD option of that magnitude would be prohibitively expensive for a Nike shoe. The time to create the iD would probably take a long time to create as well.

It would just be nice to work with the TO/Giant Jumpman, Elephant Print, BHM and Bred patterns to develop our own takes. But I just don't see it happening. We didn't even get iD options for the Kobe/Lebron/KD elites last year (besides the FK lows with limited options).

Absolutely agree, the price hike would be a bad look.

The technology is obviously in place for photo realism, I just think giving the average consumer the ability to upload any image of from their cellphone photo album or Google search is a bad idea, like the ZX Flux it can get pretty corny.. if I'm Jordan Brand, I don't want a photo of a new born baby or Kermit the frog woven into my flagship performance sneaker.

I think preset images would be a good start.. for example "Last Shot", "First Championship", "Free Throw Line" etc..

Or they can just release PE's.

Ok so I got my team orange's yesterday and got free 2 day shipping . They look great but I don't think they are as good or as comfy as the XX8 shrouded. I only tried them on around the house, but I'll put them on the court tonight. But they don't feel as comfy as the XX8's.

The comfort on the XX8 shrouded is impressive and tough to beat.  I think you'll like the upper on these though.  The zoom you feel more in the XX8 because they recessed it a bit with the XX9 to avoid the popping issues.  The trade off though is that you get a little bit better court feel with the XX9, at least in my experience

Ok thanks for the comment. Ill see how it goes tonight.

Great reminder for those who still want this colorway. They dropped to this price last Wednesday during the clearance sale sale. With the code they were $123.98. 

Wish they had my size at that price.

Keeping my eye on those. I want another price drop though. Do you guys think these will hit outlets by summer time?

Finally got my pair from the nike clearance sale

 

[glassankles]

anyone thinks JB will drop a CW for Westbrook? just like they did last year with the xx8 and xx8 SE

interesting, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.. Why Not?

Seriously, if there's any season to give the man his own version it's definitely this one.

Perhaps an MVP colorway?

 

[kevininsd]

Still wish the all white with blue jumpman that were rumored with the GOF pack had dropped.

Would also like to see a grey/black drop. Much bigger fan of the large side jumpman and not the elephant print.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Me too!

Come on, JB, release some of the heat for the XX9's! It's a great shoe, we just need better colorways.

My gym red OWNITs came in yesterday.
Got a 12 but need a 12.5. Going to hit up our Nike store and see if they have a 12.5 I can exchange for.
NT mobile won't let me post pics for some reason. Anybody else having this issue?

 

[dafilman]

Mad I missed out on the sale came to it too late and I see you took my size lol ^

 

[brainsalad]

Russ' All-Star PE. I'm not understanding why so many players aren't wearing their all star shoe that releases to the public. It makes no sense to me.

Might cop a purrr.
