Air Jordan IX Wht/Black/Red HOLIDAY 2016

Thinking about this topic. I saw some fusions yesterday for the first time in a long time. God I hated those. I hope they never ever retro.

I have a pair to wear as a joke. It's today's version of wearing Jordan 1's in the mid 90's.
 
When Jordan's become shorter, thinner with less material and start looking like boots it matters, especially when you are paying more and more each time. The sad part about the 9s is that in 2010 the powder blue dropped and was fine, then the rest of the 9s that year shrunk, flipped the Jumpman turning into banana shoes.
That's gotta be rough. I'm able to enjoy the present by not remembering small details of the OGs. Also, I make way more than I did back in the day so even paying more, it almost seems like less since I used to have to save to cop...

Not gonna lie. I had a pair of those fusions. :lol:
You should never share this story again :rofl:
 
Fusions were the peak of Gentry's maniacal run at JB. The Taxi fusions are the only fusions that should've ever released truth be told. They weren't that bad and the quality wasn't either. Almost bought a pair many moons ago on RD. My soul wouldn't let me do it. Bought a pair of White low tops AF1's instead and then caved in a few weeks later and bought my only CDP, the 5/18 pack. Back when word was spreading that retros weren't gonna be around for a while :smh:
 
Was close to getting the Cement 4s ajf fusion lol..... Finally have the real pair so I'm not as ashamed anymore

The 5's were okay, until Nelly dropped that video that basically killed the line. But I'd have to say the 2.5 basically summarizes Gentry's reign of JB.

Fusions>Spizike>Rings>2.5
 
I really love this colorway on the 9's, but the only problem is I hate that it has an all white sole. 
 
These have always been one of my favorite pair. My last retro is in decent shape, but I may cop off GP alone.
 
I'm getting most of all my OGs back... This years is legit.. Hoping next year follow suit.
Me too. I sold pretty much all of my collection to buy a house back in 2012, and slowly but surely started copping stuff again last year. Feels good to start getting a lot of my favorite pairs back and with better quality in some cases.
 
It's the 5th time of release right?
1993/1994
2002
2008? Cdp
2010
2016

Hope they reverse the jumpman on the left shoe but i doubt it.
 
I know I asked this already, but are we "sure" these are releasing!?

I'm not seeing them on Kicks on Fire yet...
