    The Air Jordan 9 is probably the only one of the original 14 I have never seen anyone wear. I personally think the 9 and 7 are criminally underrated

    Keep these series up, I'm now starting to take after my mom's fashion sense for apparel now with shoes of all things, and as kid I would've groaned for shopping multiple apparel I wouldn't have the attention for!

How ever. It was 93/94. Back then we were all sleeping on that color. It ess like brown perception wise lol. So I passed on em. Definitely will cop any of these pairs. And they definitely need to make an olive winterized pair. Perfect color for it. The other winter 9s have been prey good I think

    Definitely a good Jordan model, but the 9 just doesn't look as good as the other models that came before it and after it. It also didn't help that MJ didn't even ball in it when it first released. The details on the outsole were really cool! I had no idea what any of it meant until you explained it!

    Like most of the Jordans of the era they become even more amazing once you compare them to what was out on the market at that time. I think was take for granted how year after year the designs created road maps that are still followed till today. These shoes clearly influenced another great shoe which was the Fila GH .
