How Come The Jordan IX Doesn't Get Too Much Love?

I love the IX's, one of my favorite Jays to wear very comfy, I love my white/black-red pair, I used to have a pair of flint grey retros but they are beyondbeat, looking for a new pair.

i feel the same way i hope they retro soon its been to long
 
Most of the shoes people go crazy for were on Mike's feet for basketball games. Not baseball games.
 
Olive 9's are one of my favorites. I copped a DS pair about a year ago for $250. One of my most expensive and most rewarding pickups ever.
 
I had one pair and that was the cool grey's. They were never that comfy to me. The looks have never appealed that much to me either.
 
i always wondered the same thing. Ive been trying to sell my 2002 white black pair on my local craigslist and no one and i mean NO ONE has shown interest inthem. the 9s arent in my top 5 but they are for sure appreciated.
 
I like them a lot.. I just dont like the materials.. the tounge (well the white ones anyways) turn yellow.. and its hard to keep them clean. and the paint andthe bottom wrinkles and chips very easily.. but other than that.. its a nice shoe.. they should release some nice colorways for them..
 
probably cuz he never wore them as a bull.

ironically, they used the ix on the mj statue in front of the united center.

blk/red hi's & lo wht/blu pearls

people say that the IX's were un-inspired and didnt get any respect because Jordan himself never really worn them. Personally i like them, i need anotherpair of cool grey's and white/blacks. PLEASE JB retro the powders.

Edit: Shoot...... re-retro the cool greys too while yall at it.

I agree, the tounge is hard to keep clean, which is my main concern for the shoe. Regardless I think its a great shoe one of my favorite jordans, I love bothhow they look and how they feel.

simple, because Mike was playing baseball at the time.

they are the shoes immortalized on his statue outside the united center however...
 
IX are one of my favs. The good thing about them is, there are no bad retro plus colorways (minus the all white low). The pearl low was good, the cool grey wasawesome, and the flint grey pair is amazing. OG colorways are great as well. Hopefully this shoe will never get bastardized.
