Has anyone seen in person or purchased the XX9 woven shorts or warm up pants? I was wondering if the quality justifies the extremely high price.

I feel the same way...especially after this debacle of quality control for the sport blue 3's I got. lmao.

Played in them again today. Upper continues to be very comfortable with good ventilation. Tweaked my ankle a little midway through my run. Didn't have my shoes laced tight enough to lock me in. Will continue to monitor if this is a support issue or a user error. Felt jumpman on the sole at the toes again when I started out only took me 5 minutes to tune it out. Cushioning a little better today. Forefoot zoom is still firm and not as bouncy as I hoping for, but slowly breaking in/softening up. So far it's a good setup but not the game changer experience with the XX8s. I'm happy the heel cushioning softened up a little more. I'm a heavy heel striker at times and I didn't have any abnormal heel pain, which is a good sign. Still hoping the cushioning gets better. Traction was once again great. Heel to toe transition continues to be butter smooth.
Just pulled out a pair of XX8 SE all stars (used this pair since they have translucent soles like the team orange xx9s). The rubber on the sole of the XX8s is noticeably thinner and softer. Forefoot zoom bag is also smaller in size. Can't tell if they made it thinner, but the bag is 10-20% narrower and shorter. It appears JB addressed the popping zoom bags by recessing the bags a little more, making them smaller, and making the sole thicker/tougher. This should be good for durability. The trade off is the forefoot zoom is firmer/less bouncy, which is unfortunate.
Will keep playing in these this week and report back how they perform.
Got em in yesterday and love 'em.

Bought them for casual wear, so no performance review from me. They are a very comfortable shoe.
I'm a swing 13/14, and went with a 13 in these as it's the size I prefer for most Jordans, and the Futures I have are a 14 and fit a bit big and thought due to the quasi-woven upper it might be a similar fit. Actually wished I would have went with a 14, as the toebox was a bit snug for me (and as pictured, I wear all my shoes very loosely unlaced).
Ended up swapping out the insole for a thinner one, and the fit is much better. You can tell these things came out the box ready to hit the court. Still a shoe that'll see plenty of time in the rotation. Very comfy after the insole swap, and still think it's such a clean look. The pattern on the upper has a lot of potential.

Worked out and then played a little in my team oranges yesterday and then got 3hrs of run in today. Fit continues to be awesome and ventilation is good. Still no issues with traction on the courts I use. Again felt the jumpman under the toes for 5-10 min. Strange they would put a hard spot in that part of the sole. Heel to toe transition continues to be great - one of my favorite aspects of these shoes. Cushioning has not change much in the last couple of days. Knees started aching today. Usually the sign of too firm cushioning in the heel for me. If the heel cushioning continues to cause me knee pain, then these are going back to Nike. My black/team red/cements came in today, so I might need to return two pairs of XX9s. Argh.
thanks for the info big dawgi got the warm up suit
nice style but runs small
the dri fit material gives a tighter fit
pants are cut close the the leg from knee down ?
zipper on legs is longer than normal to make
easier to remove with shoe on
passed on the shorts

is that really a aj3 retro in that photo?
Looks super deformed.
Thanks for that. Decided to skip these due to lack of heel zoom. Was kinda regretting it after seeing some of the pics in here but glad I did. Hopefully the XXX will have zoom in the heel.Worked out and then played a little in my team oranges yesterday and then got 3hrs of run in today. Fit continues to be awesome and ventilation is good.

Not bad idea, but it's not really something you should have to do on a 225 shoeFind a pair of 2009 and swap the insole. Heel zoom problem solved.

I was sort of caught in between sizing as well. I'm an 11-11.5 depending on the shoe. Doesn't help with a foot on the narrow side.
FWIW, here are my comments on the fit of this shoe. I'm generally between a 9.5 and a 10. I tried both on. The 9.5 felt really short. My left big toe was hitting the end of the shoe. I didn't have that problem with the 10. I preferred the snugness of the 9.5, but the length was an issue so the 9.5 was out. The 10 is not really loose, but didn't have the same feel as the 9.5. Still, a very unique feel and a nice fit. I usually wear 10s in Jordan 1s, 3s and 4s. I'm somewhat concerned that these will feel too loose the more I wear them, but so far so good.

Needed to take a break from my team oranges. Went back to my XX8 SEs and played in them for 90 min. Forefoot zoom is noticeably squishier in the XX8. Heel zoom is feels good on hard landings. No knee pain. Not as light as the XX9s nor is the ventilation as good. Traction seems about the same between the shoes. Heel to toe is transition is good in the XX8s, but it sure felt like a step down from the excellent heel to toe in the XX9s. Fit in general is better on the XX9s, though I like how the XX8s feel like there is a little more material around the ankle. I'm not sure it is more effective, but it feels nice. Will get back to playing in my XX9s this weekend or early next week.
My team oranges arrived today via ups in our office. I unboxed them and most of my colleagues loved them much.
They look even better in person. Feel good on my feet. Tts indeed.
