Jordan Retro 9 Anthracite "Non Oregon" - 9/12/15

[AWOKEN CHARISMA]

^Im personally not a fan of customization on official sneaks, cause alot of ppl would think theyre fugazi.

But none the less, the job you did looks alright, good job.

Do 9s crumble? I'd really want to get a pair but the weather here is humid AF.

What you doing with them for you to ask that going to keep them wrapped up for 6+ years ?

Yes. They have a polyurethane midsole, unfortunately.

Do 9s crack? Im hesitating cuz the weather here in my country is humid AF

What you doing with them for you to ask that

going to keep them wrapped up for 6+ years ?

I'd be wearing them from time to time of course, the weather in my country makes the 3,4 and 5s crumble after around 5 years of wearing. I'd rather buy shoes that will last longer than that. I don't wanna spend $200+ for a shoe that's going to be unwearable after 5 years.

Yes. They have a polyurethane midsole, unfortunately.

That's sad, I'll wait for them to go on sale then. Thanks!

entropy you should be good with the AJ IX they hold very well for me in the past & definitely understand waiting for them to go on sale

I just dyed my pair, I think it looks decent.

Yeah, definitely going to cop a pair when they hit discount price. Don't wanna spend too much on an all black shoe.

They fit n feel more like the og from 94.

Thats why I copping. JB remaster is no joke. The box this time is huge compare to my previous retro 9's. Btw, mine is sz10.

Returned my Statue 9's yesterday because the quality was not remastered . The hard plastic leather was just not worth it. But decided to double up on these . So I am happy.

I'm assuming the "hard plastic leather" that you've mentioned is similar to the Powder Blue 9's and Orion 7's?

Same. I exchanged my statues for these and loving it they're gonna be so clutch in the fall/winter

It is comparable to the materials on the Baron 9's if not even a little bit more stiff. Just didn't feel the $20 difference in price added anything over the Baron's material wise on the Statue 9's. UnDS'd my pair of these 9's today and they are my favorite pair of 9's since the black and red OG's in 2010.

I felt the statue 9's in person. They're definitely better than the powder blue 9's (those things sucked) but far and away worse quality than some of the other releases this year (columbia 4, french blue 7, laser 1, etc.)

as for shape, these and statue 9s >>>>>>>> baron 9s

Not just the shape. The inner bootie is more padded then the non remasrered versions. The sole is much more solid, n need to mention that the previous I owns the midsoles (foot of arc) paint peeled off..these anthracite is way better. Lucky the statute one is sold out here (hk). Love the nubuck n jb added the og 6 pair of laces holes, not 5 in the previous. Enjoy your anthracite everyone!!!

One solid jordan remastered to date!!!

Sure you may have heard this already, but I'll reiterate it; that remastered rhetoric is all a sham. Then again, there's always a silver lining. Resellers now pretty much think twice with each release due to the near nonexistent profit margin.
I'm getting that ugly sweater 7s (and maybe the 11s) and I'm done for the year.
It's unto the 12s next year.

Kwel dood.

Been rocking these for the past 3 days. Decent comfort from a Jordan retro! Another Jordan that's comfortable is the legend blue 4s. I believe the remaster claims...

 

[shawndavinci]

I like these and all but I think I'm trading my pair for some infrared 3lab5.

I'd do that

Wish these didn't drop so close to the chrome 6s...I want a pair eventually
