X2...and I'm happy that for the first time, it seems people aren't buying into the "air jordan" hype machine anymore. You can make amillion commercials with Chris Paul, Melo, Joe Johnson, even throw in Jordan himself, but no one's paying $190 for something And1 would be embarassed toput out...
These are the worst Air Jordans of the 24 released, and it embodies everything about JB today:
Overpriced - $190?
Gimmicky - High Heels on basketball shoes?
Uninspired - It Looks like a Li-Ning version of a XIV
Cheap - It Feels like a Li-Ning version of a XIV
Don't blame the economy, I hope ppl at JB are reading this and either making changes or getting their resumes ready...
btw, didn't this same designer draw those AWFUL Chris Paul shoes for this year too?

well its about time, jordan brand reaps what it sows. I doubt obama's stimulus plan could even help these pathetic shoes out.

Thanks BabyJ.
We can only hope they learn from their mistakes. Its been a long period of disappointment. As much as i love what the brand has done in the past, its good tosee them fail a bit, in hopes that change will come from it.

GimmickY? nah, the heels are apparently for better use on the court, and from what Ive heard about the feel of them, including my own opinion, they are realgood and not cheap. that being said, they arent hot, better cws might help, and theyre def overpriced

my mind is boggled as to why the retail is so high, even higher than the XX3's. it would have been a good idea and good PR to slap a $100 price tag onthese due to the recession.

my store only got 10 pairs. We sold 2.
overall reaction seems to be people are waiting for the ones in april to drop.

Maybe they shouldn't have had the incredibly superior-looking white/black/red Six Rings come out the same day.

While I won't defend the 2009 (I do like the shoe, but all GR colorways I have seen are HORRIBLE)...
Let's not get things twisted...
AJ 2009 isn't going to be a great seller...but, how did everything else with a Jumpman released this weekend sell?
Yeah...

I really hope this is JB's wake up call. I knew the shoe wasn't going to sell, but DAMN, worse release in 5 years is crazy
. When they drop the pricedown to where the shoe should be at ($120-140), I think then they will start to sell to the consumer. I wonder how the Portland 6 Rings did
?

I was disappointed with this c/w in person. I liked my black/gold enough to keep. The shoe itself is comfortable, and the quality on my black pair is topnotch. I still think they need a better c/w for this shoe to sell, and a price drop wouldn't hurt either. Aesthetically, I like these better than a few sigshoes. I would really like to get another pair, but only if they can do a better c/w. Had the black gold been a lower price point and/or a GR, the numberswould have been better.

Just how bad did the AJ XIX do cause it looks nice when you wear them with skinny jeans from what I've seen. Though WHO EXPECTED TEH 09s TO SELL?
