    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

    Bryan! Glad to see you upload again. A minor critique for this video though, I don't think you need to edit out all the pauses in or between your sentences. It has the effect of making most of the video feel like a big, breathless, run-on sentence.

      I felt the same way. Your voice lends itself to making a chill, relaxing video. You cut out out a little too much empty space, making it sound a little sloppy and chaotic. Overall, I enjoyed the video and consider this series one of my favorite resources on UA-cam.

      I could not agree more. I dont see a lot of love for the 9s but i just picked up my first two pairs, powder blues and olives 9s and they are incredibly comfortable with the internal bootie and have a much more noticeable arch than my Jordan 3s or 5s. I would put the AJ9 in my personal top 3 favorite Jordans of all time. 3s, 9s and 12s.

    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 .

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!
