Air Jordan IX “Olive” Retro

Long before ‘Kilroy’ was even a story, Nike whipped up this sick off-the-court colorway of the Air Jordan IX. The Air Jordan never really got a taste of the outdoors until this Black/Red/Olive combination hit stores, and although the concept of it was pretty incredible, the general public, still hurt from Jordan’s sudden retirement, didn’t want to see the Air Jordan away from hardwood. Needless to say, that notion’s a stark a contrast from how the public perceives MJ today, so we’re certain the Olive IX will see much greener (olive green, to be exact) pastures when it hits stores in November.

not sure why i like these but i do....
the only 9s i actually plan on getting
wait ... how do they run in size ? big or small ?
Well, I picked these up at Hoop City and I am just happy that you can return "new releases" here in Korea unlike places in the states. I normally don't complain about quality but these are trash. The black leather is black garbage. No give in them at all. If you have a wide foot, good luck. I couldn't even take three steps in these.
I still posted a pic in WDYWT though lol.
@Cut Up Were they real?? And Can I order from this place "Hoop City" online??
@shagreezz3 I will ask them if you can order online bro. Yes, they are real. I don't wear fakes. Hoop City is like the HOH of Korea.
@MartinD44 Bro, don't be fooled by the early release theory. In fact, you will see what I am talking about when you pick em up. They might be good for you but when I held em side by side to my whit Jordan 9's there was a huge difference in quality. The leather they use on these is not up to par but you might like em. I am not compromising my comfort just to say I have a shoe!
@Cut Up @shagreezz3
And you're saying its the quality of the shoes thats in question, and not the store you got them from? Because I have a major distrust of early release sellers, and I want to know what kind of quality I should expect out of this shoe
Same day as thunder 4s? Dammmmmmmmn double dippin on the same day is never fun for the wallet.
@MartinD44 #Agreed

@jfin3 THANK YOU !!!
Gotta grabb'em
that leather looks Premio grade
These new pics def help, but recently seeing them in person, can't wait to cop,
@Iamme85
So they ARE olive green not poopy brown? These pics are the 1st that looked green to me
@MartinD44 yes they are olive green, whoever took these picks, captured the shoe very well
i hope people sleep on these! cause they a must have for me since my 02 pair didnt fit me any more and i had to sell! -___-
These go hard. Almost as hard as CG's.
Been waiting for these since my last pair in 02. will and must cop. Olive>Cool Grey
@Thigh_pillowz false- cool grey>olive unless you play baseball- nah im just playin but that's my opinion bro
@elementasrat Hey to each there own. The CG cw just doesn't do it for me at times. Its plain like black or white in my opinion. I did have the 4's, spizike's and lbj 9's in CG but i wouldnt hold my my breath for anything to be released other than the 4's again.
I just might cop :)
these been fire im on these for real
These are looking pretty good, I'll be picking these up when they drop
Ok,lookin better than previous pics.
