[proballer]

Damn! I cannot wait for these. I had to get rid of my pair after I grew out of em and ready to replace them!

Glad they didn't change the sole.

This.  The sole is one of the things that really makes this shoe.  Shape doesn't look bad either.  I'm back on these, no need to hunt down a 2002 pair.  Hopefully the comfort is decent.

@ that gif.

Is it me or the is the shape way off????

It might be you, they don't seem to be as high cut as the previous release but the shape isn't bad.

Cool Grey 9's >>>>>> Olive 9's  

Copped!

 

[sneakertechgeek]

Dope, Definitly gonna try to get me a pair

 

[mistamidnight]

But honestly, its about damn time these pictures came. Been waiting forever and I'm glad they kept the smokey outsole, look so much better than the samples.

 

[dankenstien88]

Yoooo! I just knew they looked too good to be true in that video!!

Pics look OK... Glad they have translucent soles but the shape looks very off.

 

[sneakerfan1]

The main difference I see is that the shade of grey used on the patent is different (just like the Cool Grey XI's).  The only real difference I see shape wise is around the back ankle collar area.  As long as these don't chip and the comfort is there I'll be content.

 

[Mound Raised]

all for it.

These will be like the Last Shot 14s of last year.

People who didn't get the 11s, will get these.

I don't see these selling out release weekend.

People gonna be stuck waiting in line for the 11s.

 

[vicious kicks]

the grey on these look light

still copping though

 

[nydunkhead]

I'm hopping the flash was way up on those pics because the smokey sole was the one condition as long as the color isn't fubar'ed.

 

[anticop23]

favorite is still the black/white/red

 

[ccastro02]

The shape is way off. Looks kinda weird. Being that already have a vnds pair of 02's I might pass.

 

[futuredhughes]

New vid up on these.







3rd best retro release of the year for me (Charcoal 7s are number 1 and the Olympic 6s are number 2).

 

[waytoogoodatdis]

Finally! The only pair of 9's I like. I've been waiting on these for the longest. Glad to see not too much hype on these...yet. We all know how rd will get. Hopefully people will be too broke from the holidays and the 11's and this is an easy pick up.

 

[solecollector526]

Video must have been shot while back since he didnt know when they were releasing. Nonetheless i'll picking these up for sure
