That pinky toe rub is no joke. I remember when I first got these a few years back when they retro I only wore them for casual wear, and after a good while my pinky toe would just be hurting.

[@marvin7533]

I remember seeing these olive 9s in retail stores in '93. Early Fall of 2002, a local sporting goods store I've shopped at since '95, had a large week long going out of business tent sale in their parking lot. I stopped by one day, and they had the olive 9s on a steep discounted sale for $65. I passed because it wasn't my type of colorway. I went back 2 days later, and they were still sitting. When I saw they were coming back this year, I was thinking about that tent sale and wondered if they sold all of those pairs or returned them back to Nike. This was also the same sporting goods store where I bought my black toe AJ14 for $149.99. I miss those retail prices.

[@k-cx7137]

It’s crazy that these go harder now than they did back in 93 since brown is a way more popular color in fashion nowadays . Fire and one of the most “wearable” OG jordan colorways ever

[@cactusjack2264]

It’s not brown it’s olive green, that’s why they’re called Olive 9’s 🫒

[@k-cx7137]

@ for sure !! I only said brown because the shade on this particular pair looks brown(to me) but definitely the olive and green vibes are in as much as brown

The olives are such a classic fall/winter shoe for those cold walks to the bus stop back in grade school!

[@andysilva8548]

I initially wasn’t going to pick these up, but I ran into them at my Nike outlet and got them just $107 and I am so glad I did. I love this colorway on foot so much. It is just speaking to me right now for some reason.

[@urpusherman7632]

It's the 8th of November at 12:19pm here in Singapore... These dropped 19 minutes ago and based on your recommendation, I copped a pair in size 13 (no .5 sizes up). That pinky rub is REAL!!! 'Ppreciate you bruh!!

Man the 9s used to be my favorite sneaker to play in... they are big heavy but comfortable

[@vinsa30]

Back in the days, I bought a pair of retro 2002 customized (on Ebay) where the olive nubuck was died black. It was clean, looked like an all black Jordan 9 with hits of red on the globe, jumpman and tongue area.

[@editorodriguez6554]

I’m glad that they finally fixed the job man on the left shoe facing the toll, but that is one of my biggest pet peeves for the nines and for the 11s when the jump was facing the wrong way, it would piss me off to the point where I would not buy that shoe for that reason

[@macayetano]

As usual, another great overall video review!! Thank you to Mr. Chris and Mrs. Jodi for their efforts. Very much appreciated as always. The Air Jordan IX 9 model is one of favorite Air Jordan shoes and a bit underrated. To me, the 9's will always be "the first retirement" shoes. I still remember that Nike commercial with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley which featured the black and white 9. I still have my original AJ IX "olive" pair. DS. I am hoping to pick up at least one pair of these. Hopefully two. And patiently awaiting for a proper retro of the Air Jordan IX 9 "charcoal" model. As for as I know, there has only been ONE retro of that shoe.

[@n3verless07]

Perfect time of the year for these shoes. I bought a size 9.5, 9s usually run small

[@veryfewrealleft1405]

I think the sizing tip is 1/2 size up I doubled up on black toe 14s no problem, these Nike didn’t want to accept mine or my buddies payment neither one of ours. Luckily I was able to go get my 11 1/2 from Snipes and I have a second pair that’s at 11 and I tried them on and they definitely I was smart enough to size up in both pair of powders because OG color weighs then if they go on sale, I could take them back and get the lower of the prices. But i recommend 1/2 size up it’s not the length of the shoe it’s the top part where whether you have a wide foot or not it doesn’t matter it pinches the top of your foot. If you’re not roomy enough in the width, it’s a narrow shoe.. I don’t know why that eight and tens are all wide shoes, wide foot friendly.

[@variandavid377]

So happy to see that these are back to true form…..i scanned the Jo pans immediately and felt relief. Lol. The olives were my favorite…..and I owned and played in an original pair back in the day…..I also had the matching cap! As for footwear that used to annoy me….that’ll be the AJ 15. These days…I don’t care anymore. However for argument’s sake, for current stuff, it might fall under a collab sneaker or any Yeezy shoe, especially the two Nike ones. Still think they are not as amazing as everyone claims them to be. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I got the Powder Blue 9s already during Spring, so I'm passing these for the 3s as I'm already dry from copping the 14s. Would love the Space Jam 9s to return. I may cop it if its still on retail for clearance as the Powder Blues were sitting on shelves for a couple months. And I knew it was going to be dreamcell again...

To answer the QOTD: It's been a while since a shoe gave me the ick, but the most prominent one was the Jordan XX. As a big fan of Huaraches, I understand the ankle structure idea, but having that floating ankle strap just made me hella confused.

[@jpprice14duh]

The black and white og 9 is one of the best Jordans made looks wise. I cant stand the colors of the olives but since it has decent leather for a 9 i think I'm gonna get a pair just in case the next time the black and white pair has the typical crappy leather

[@cturk87]

One model that has bugged me as of late is the different variations in Jordan 1 low OGs. Swoosh size, lace hole count, low OG, OG 85. Why are Travis models a hybrid version of the two? Why aren’t they just the same across the board?

[@ccitrusxyz]

cork insoles would be interesting or something that involves better end of life recycling, not sure how it impacts the scope of polyurethane being the most comfortable but regarding more ethical manufacturing practices it would be nice to see swoosh and jb incorporate better lifecylce analysis manufacturing into retros, i dont care for a 1:1 remake of the og i can live with some adjustments if it results in better manufacturing practices. im almost curious if its better to ship a premium product like retros without an insole and let the consumer slot in their preferred options. almost like bed sheets on a martress

[@MM-x6c]

QOTD: Yeezys. Olive is my favorite of the original Jordan 9 colorways. It's super wearable casually, and I like that it's a strange look for on-court. I find that 9s look like a work boot and this is the most work boot-like colorway. They're the precursor to the wheat Air Zoom Generation. Thanks for the review! I did my part to trounce the algorithm. See you next time.

For comparison’s sake, I have Js I, XI, XII, XIII and Air More Uptempo 96 all in 10.5 which is my TTS, they all fit great. Js VI I went down half a size to 10 and fit perfectly. Air Max 90 I go up half a size to 11 and fit well. Knowing this, would you still recommend to go up half a size to 11 on this ones too? I’m just over taking this kind of advice from the internet, someone with a KZbin channel advised to get Js XII half size down, and they turned out to fit me wrong, it was a hustle to get the 10.5 since they went out real fast. I can’t try them on store since they’re only available online in my current whereabouts, by the time you get them on the mail this kind of shoe is sold out so you can’t get them replaced for the right size. Actually they sell within the first 3 to 5 min I’d say. Thanks
