Earlier this week, we gave you a first look at an alternate version of the Air Jordan IX Premio, done up in a mix of chocolatey leathers as opposed to the gaudy gold of the released version. This sample version actually comes off looking a lot like the Air Jordan II from the Bin 23 Collection, perhaps hinting at an original plan to make the collection as a whole more cohesive color-wise. The “Premio” title on these is definitely deserved, with the supreme leather being far above what you would see on a general release, with extras like the raw hide laces pushing them over the top. Take a full look at these new images of the Air Jordan IX Premio sample after the jump, courtesy of Redfoot on ISS.

Definitely not… People simply agreed with you because these are samples… Reverse the roles… If these released… And the golds were the sample pair… You would have a completely different outlook on these… Not saying these are ugly… But they're simply a premio version of Olives… Not much originality there for the BIN line… The original BIN 9's are so far the best pair of BINs to release… I actually own a pair… And that gold flake in person looks crazy… I personally wouldn't trade my pair for these no way… Original BIN 9's = Stand out from the crowd… Sample BIN 9's = Blend in like Waldo IMO ( amongst non Snead society )

I don't know about way better but they are nice. They should have had them both in a premium pack now that would have been solid.

The younger heads will probably feel content with the BIN IX's that dropped, but I think older sneakerheads miss the OG days and these are pretty close to the olive IX's…@ least I know I would've preferred these.
