true story.. theres also a lot of colorways of 9s that im not really feelin.. like the blk/olive.. i find it hideous personally
 
black/olive are one of the greats, just because its so different from the usual colorways.....My guess is that they aren't as stylish as the other pairs

Was my least fav colorway of the IX but still.....As they say I should have gotten more of em. Still got mine on ice.

HUGE fan of the IX though, been waiting for charcoals for way too long.
Wish I had a time machine.

I think generally the reason people don't like the IX's is for 2 reasons

1) MJ never wore them in a game...and..

2) They're not considered one of the more flamboyant Jordans out there...

But to me they're stylish...I loved these even back in the day...just didn't have money to purchase and my parents didn't buy them for me either..

I remember the Illmatic cd booklet when Nas first came out. Dude sitting on the bench next to Nas had on a pair of the OG white & blacks. I loved the lookthen and I love them now...

I appreciate this shoe because I think they look really good with jeans on....and fit really well and since I live currently in the east coast having theseIX's is convenient because they make great fall and winter shoes since the outsole is solid.

I also always thought IX's reminded me of sneaker boots.

They have the construction of a boot almost but have the feel of a sneaker. Love these kicks,and yes, they are very underrated.

Like airuphere23 said I think it because MJ never wore them in a game.But I love IX's very underrated IMO.
 
It's funny how people call the olive joints a grail, when stores couldn't give those things away back in '02 lol. I hope the charcoal joints retro,they are so nice. The charcoal colorway is actually the first fake I've seen in person, and it's the only fake I thought about getting...

But I want a pair
 
maybe because MJ didnt wear em...
personally i like em though. had em once, balled in them also
and yea, the midsole's paint chips easily..
 
They just look horible to me n I don't think anything can b done to them to help them at all.
 
The IX are one of the few jordans that have the same quality and shape/mold to them. I like them. I'm probably the only one that hates the charcoalcolorway.
