I don't think it's that bad lol. I would cop it with them 9's. The cool grey 9's is a must have. My favorite pair.

 

[frenchblue23]

These will officially be mine, those pics completely sealed the deal.

Almost looking forward to these as much as I am the Black Cement IVs.

Not looking forward to telling the wife though. Back to back purchases. Lol.

 

[sneakerfan1]

Tell her that they're early Christmas gifts.

THIS!

Gotta come up with an excuse.

Lol.

 

[frenchblue23]

She knows I don't buy shoes as gifts for anyone else but me! That's an automatic red flag.

This will be interesting.

 

[sneakerfan1]

If all else fails guilt her with the ole "You married me knowing that this was my hobby.  I don't ask for much."

I'm splurging now that I'm single again.  Luckily JB is making it pretty easy to step back from this hobby soon.

 

[frenchblue23]

She doesn't mind my hobby, she minds that I don't buy her something instead. Lol.

Whenever I mention that I'm thinking of selling some of shoes for closet space, she always suggests a way to find room somewhere. She's a keeper

But yeah, I'm with you on having an "ending" with Jordans.

 

[sneakerfan1]

That's rare my friend.  There are very few women out there like that.

I don't like to use the "retirement" term, but JB is dropping everything more or less.  Market value for the older retros keeps declining to boot which is always welcomed.  It's going to feel good not having to continue the chase so to speak.

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

I've been prepared to get these...sold my '02 CG IX's earlier this year after I found out they were being re-released. Thankfully JB didn't **** 'em up so my decision doesn't look bad.

These and the black Foams are copped. That's almost $400 on 2 pairs of shoes in like 10 days

(and I'm contemplating doubling up on the Foams, which I NEVER do)...last time I spent that much on kicks in that short of a time frame was back in high school.

 

[jumpmanthr33zz]

had these in 9th grade....will cop again

 

[mcstrokin]

I'm on the fence about these.

 

[los5278]

Those cool 9's are clean! Had them then and will cop again no doubt!!!

 

[batman23]

Damn they looking nice!! I'm really surprised these came out looking as good as they look so far. 9.5 on deck

 

[Kev93]

Hope they don't look weird on my feet. IX's have always looked funny on me.

 

[ijumpman]

Wow, a thread for these alone? I don't remember these being that popular. Some of you guys will hype up anything, lol.

 

[617collector]

^^Well Michael actually wore these while in the league, they deserve respect. Btw 8 pages isn't considering "hype" and I hope everyone sleeps on these
