Just picked up a black pair of these at the nike factory store here in vegas for 69 dollars. Wasn't a fan of the 2009's....till I tried them on. WOW! i LOVE MY 2010 UNC'S, BUT THESE 2009'S ARE DOPE TOO. The 2009's were missing in my collection, but glad to have them now.
i like the design.. nice touch with the diamond. the design fits with the new generation. a lot of people just aren't attracted the the old school look anymore, styles are moving more towards the new and innovative look nowadays.
every shoe is innovative and fresh during the time they're released. The company is just trying to fit their products into the present day styles. whether they are ugly or not is just a matter of opinion.
The Black, White and Red colorway is a lot better than the white ones.. I copped a pair of the white ones.. Wore em once then the upper started to get real dirty. The feel of em is pretty nice though.
besides the hyperdunks are only designed to last for 80 hours of play so the 09's outdo them in quality and don't even look that bad imo, Way better than the 23's at least.
for everyone hatin on the jordan 09's the aesthetic aspect of them doesn't matter. Jordan's are supposed to be the pinnacle of basketball performance. I'd rather have the ugliest shoes that help me play better than a pair of shoes that looked good but didn't do anything for me. Besides Jordan's are always ahead of their time, in 5 years people will wish they grabbed these.
i'm only saying that doesn't matter from a performance point of view. Of course looks matter because when people say don't judge a book by the cover what attracts you to the book? It's cover! But I understand where your comin from.
thats true i feel you on that. i think jordan shoes jumped the shark a while ago, especially when they started making so many ugly ass fusions that only cornballs wear. if i still played basketball i would buy the shoes though cause they are nice ballin shoes
i agree with you partly. I think all the fusions are ugly EXCEPT one pair. That is the Fusion IV's. I think they look nice and i was one of the people who knocked fusisons cause honestly with release like the AJF 3 annd 5 i was disgusted. But the AJFIV got class man. I have a real pair and a pair of fusion IV's so i can honestly say from both points that the AJF4 is nice. About the playing basketball i agree except that they are heavy and they dont breathe so your shoe stinks fast.
@bagelboy571 yea I don't think they look bad and they're comfortable as hell, but maaan since I don't ball anymore I'd hella pick some of the all blacks up for work it's just that they cost too much bread imo.
I think theyre tight. Big improvement from the 23s, looks wise anyway. Ive never had any Jordans but I really like these. Im not some guy wanting to wear them cause they look good. I want them for fucking basketball. They don't look bad but that doesnt REALLY matter anyway. The way they help improve your game is what matters. Give 'em a shot guys.
yeah but they cost 190$USD and 225$ Canadian here. I can get Kobe's for cheaper or other jordans for almost half...hell just some regular nike hyperdunks or some shit. Highly doubt much of us play at the level that this shoe could truly-truly-TRULY benefit us.
dis nigga can't design a shoe for shit!! JB should fire his ass. He should be designing some starburys, shaq, or them payless shoes. Who the fuck want to buy this damn shoes for $190. Wack!!!
The midsole is a combination of full-length Phylon™ foam with a double-stacked Zoom Air™ unit in the heel and forefoot -- some of the best performance cushioning available.
every year jordan comes out with a shoe that's not a retro, there's always folks who say it's the ugliest jordan ever. while they're not XI or III status, you gotta respect where jb is trying to take things. Too many people are stuck in the past. I've been a sneaker collector for 15 years now and as i get older i appreciate both old and new aspects of all sneakers. Off the technology alone i'm hyped to see what these are about.
This dude who made the shoe is a MORON, A heel on the air jordan basketball shoe?, yea i could see myself tripping all over the court with these already
It looks like he has nothing to do with the Jordans shoes anymore the Jordan brand is missing Jordan. Please tell me im wrong BUT I dont think so. Im done after the 23s sorry unless im needing a good BBall shoe
I hate this Jordan. But I also hate all you rehabs who don't play basketball and just cop all the shoes and hide em in your 'collection' (mom's basement closet). I know tons of guys who are good at basketball but could never afford these shoes because you guys drive the demand so high. Its sorta ironic, most J'z probably just in closets or on sneakerhead feet.
Its not only a byproduct of massive research and creativity, its a collaborative effort with Michael Jordan and the rest of the Brand Jordan team. This dude is the truth, he not only designed the Air Jordan 2009 but numerous other shoes that you rock, I bet you didnt know that he also designed the 23s along with Tinker.
What you so called sneakerheads don't realize is the Jordan Brand is not only about the aesthetics of the shoe but the performance aspect as well. Nike is a performance based company people, they design shoes for athletes. You people have no idea the brainpower it takes to create a shoe from beginning to end. Its not as simple as 123, you just dont slap some material together and call it a product.
So next time before you criticize someones craft ask yourself Have I ever designed a shoe or Have I accomplished any of my goals in life? Some of you should feel ashamed, talking about Nike needs to fire him; does this man go to your job and smack the spatula out your hand?
Do your research, the shoes that this man has designed has made Nike millions of dollars you know why, its because of people like you ;) that go out and purchase them. So at the end of the day your comments dont mean shit! Check your closets Im sure you have a pair of Nikes that he designed.
Open your minds do your research before you make a comment get your game up its 2009. God Bless! One more thing, to all you sneakerheads and I use the term lightly, spreading the hate on this message board, I bet youll be the main ones to go out and cop these Jordans when they drop!
i own a black pair of these and i'm gonna say they're really good and it doesn't take a while to break in. you can consider this shoe an underrated.
