Did a couple runs in the XX9's and these have to be one of the most comfortable Jordans I've ever put on. Only Jordans I haven't put on were the 2K10s-2K11s. These are up there with the XX3 comfort wise, but slightly better.

That's good to know. Do these fit like recent retros or do they run different? For example is the size in the XX9 feel the same as that same size in the white leather Jordan VI? I have to make an educated guess on sizing since no one around me is getting them.

Sorry for the late reply, but these fit tts def dnt have to sz down like the recent VI's.

No problem bro. And yes def comfortable. Zoom air would've topped it off with the icing on the cake. But they're still good.

I currently have 3 xx3's on rotation for ball and if they are as comfortable as the xx3, then I'll prolly pick up the Team Orange to try out. :smile:

Shouldn't disappoint.

Hopefully you guys are happy with your pairs especially those of you that actually play in them. It will be interesting to see how many people who don't get their shoes for free to review online actually miss the heel zoom. I am passing on principle alone (225 for only forefoot zoom) I'm sure they will sell out though

DR DAMON's on the money with this one. I don't put much stock into what online reviewers think of the latest model. They get invited to launch events, MJ's house, and get their kicks for free. Are they really going to come out and say "this latest shoe sucks big time and they've skimped on materials"  when that would put their gravy train at risk? I doubt it.

the launch colorway for this specific upper design looks like it could have been ripped right off a 1997 $100 jordan team shoe.

heres a couple quick ps of colorways I could easily get behind. why is this so hard JB?

The last two are pretty dope

Just make the jumpman on the black and red black

And the jumpman on the white pair red

The elephant print is pretty wack though. They should have replaced it with a new type of pattern

I see your point, but even the team Jordans then looked much better. And had leather
 
Both colorways are sitting hard in Europe. For  reference the xx8s sold out in seconds. They either increased production on these or the demand is lacking. Probably both

Not the Orange ones those are selling out quick, but options buddy. 29s, Ferrari, Kobe Elite, WTL, all $200 plus. Not alot a people trying to spend $500 to $800 like that
 
They seem to have got rid of the bots problem on NikeStoreEurope too

They are releasing on limited quantities...esp the orange ones (jumbo jordan logo). Was able to grab a pair the other day and the flightplates on the xx8s are still much better than the xx9s. They are releasing also online tho.. Check my instagram page, i posted a pic of the xx9s and had some conversation with other people who were able to play on them earlier. INSTAGRAM: janarvi13

In my opinion (which also happened to be the same as others) xx8 > xx9 performance wise

Thanks for the info. It makes sense, xx8s had both heel and forefoot zoom and carbon fiber flightplate so it's hard to see how the xx9 is an improvement, besides the potential for zoom bags not popping

The 1st improvement ive noticed with the xx9s is that there is fluidity in motion.when i play with my xx8s... Theres this 1...2 (ball of heel then forefoot) feel when i step/run because of how the flightplate was positioned (middle was the carbon fiber squarely placed higher on the middle/arch area) BUT does not matter as much if you aint really that heavy because of the zoom units both on the heel and forefoot.

The second one is breathability.. [emoji]128076[/emoji]
