The Air Jordan 2009 officially releases on January 31st with a limited $230 colorway. With this release, the public will get their first look at the new Articulated Propulsion Technology, or, APT for short. The APT technology is a new technology developed for the Air Jordan 2009 to ensure that the wearer receives maximum bounce back when force is placed to the heel. In this video, Jason Mayden, the designer of the Air Jordan 2009, breaks down this complex technology and goes in depth into the midsole and outsole construction on the Air Jordan 2009.




Peace.

ok ok still dont like thekm and NEVER will but im just copping the limited once only cause it will cost a lot later on jejejeje
 
Very interestin..sounds like a great b-ball shoe..i like that..that's what jordans are meant for..the top of the line technology..will definitely try andcop the white colorway..
 
Man I dont care what special technology they go to. Do they really think it is ok to up the shoe price $30 everytime a new Jordan is released. I know some ofyou guys are going to buy this shoe just to have the Jordan 2009 but seriously this is ridiculous.

I am all for the shoe's to be better but $230 for any color is absolutely ridiculous. We as th consumer know to much pertaining to what they pay to makethem to realize the cost of this shoe is beyond reasonability

IIRC, it's $190 for the GRs and $230 for the limited versions.
A pricing structure not that different from GR and limited XX3s.

The shoe is a bit of a letdown, but the pricing is no surprise.
 
like i said zoom air and carbon fiber nothing special about those because everyone was heard of it and seen or felt them perform by now.
I give JM props for using the right words to describe it and leaving some people in aww like they are seeing something ground breaking. (but are not)

i think JB should be looking into lunar foam and flywire tech or something that even rises above the two.

Sounds like quite the average shoe that will be hyped as G.O.A.T. soon enough
 
Bruh the only way I will cop is if they drop a white/red color way and it's on the sale rack for about $89.00
 
Jason Mayden's a great guy and I'd love to see his original design concepts before the shoe was slaughtered by committee thinking and cost cutting.Unfortunately, the end result here is still an overpriced XIV.5.

It's funny that they're overselling their soft-innovation as means of compensating for the shoe's appearance and justifying the price. There'snothing cutting edge about shox, impax, double stack zoom, articulated flex grooves, or carbon fiber.

So, let's just call it what it is: a repackaged retread.


In that regard, is it any wonder some people feel like they've heard all of this before?

These shoes are ugly but they are baskeball shoes. They are designed for professional athletes. So i saying that professional athletes or professinals periodwill sometimes need stuff thats expensive. Jordan made these for professiinal athletes not to walk around in. I dont think you really need all that stuff Jasonwas talking about just to walk in.
