I had them in middle school, 1994. Those are one of the shoes that made other kids say I was fly. I wish my kids would know that feeling. These kids today are water down with all the releases. And I had to get those Og’s

[@L.Harris23]

I feel you! I had the OGs in 10th grade! My first pair of Js Homie.

[@michaeljordan3723]

It’s a fire shoe. But new generation didn’t see Jordan play. It’s not going to hit the same for them.

[@georgeking6810]

Same here I bought it because this was my first Jordan shoe. 1994

[@L.Harris23]

OG Powder Blue 9s were my first ever pair of Js. I also won my high school dunk contest in them...lol

[@FreshYoungDude]

That’s a dope core memory.

[@seantariq5525]

Already

[@JasonMcClusky]

Me too. Took them straight from Foot Locker to the YMCA. Toes were messed up. Definitely needed to be broken in. You won dunk contests in these is crazy. Probably would have been better off barefoot lol

These are 🔥! I got my niece a pair back in'94 for school. She was 6. She is 36 now. I will try and cop a pair on payday. A must-have for me.

[@zackamania6534]

3:28 when I bought my cool grey 9s in 2002, they came WITH THAT CARD! It made me want THOSE more than my CG9s I had purchased. Now, in retrospect, I love the Cool Grey but that CARD was so dope! Great video. Thanks for carrying the torch for these

[@paulmann5328]

I passed on these for 3 reasons. 1 these should be $180-190. 2 the diamond turfs come out soon. 3 Military Blue 4s 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@sebastienc.2257]

Sneaker prices aren’t based on popularity. Why would they price these less than jordan 4s when it has newer technology and have always been more expensive or as expensive as the Jordan’s numbered lower than it.

[@paulmann5328]

@sebastienc.2257 I didn't base the price off of popularity 😂😂the shoe is cheap looking down to the blue paint.

[@edroq1]

Love, love, love that OGs are sitting!

[@lotsatrix]

The shoe market right now is just over saturated. Plain and simple. Multiple shoes releasing weekly, anywhere between $150-over $200 a pop. Trying to keep up is just too expensive and the closet is running out of space. These days the average sneaker-head is just waiting for special releases or the collabs that call out to them. Everything else can wait for a sale or just get passed on altogether.

[@gklove2107]

And can't ever cop my sz on Snkrs. Been trying since the playoff 13s dropped

[@coreycarter753]

Clean pair. No regrets 👌🏾

[@mcdanieldarrell3746]

Some of the best reviews in the sneaker game

[@nixsis5281]

I coped these because they are OG but, more importantly they are something different from the same old crap we keep getting. You can count the amount of 9's released in the past 3 years on one hand. However if you were to count the 1's, you would be counting for a while. We need more 8, 9, and 10's in OG and new colorways along with some collabs. Pricing also needs to be better because, 200+ for sneakers is getting ridiculous.

[@edwarda9751]

Got ‘em… finally 😅

[@rollerj3]

I’m probably in the minority, but I’m glad they had the $210 price tag. If everybody scooped em up at $170, then more times then not, I end up having to pay way more than that $210 on the resell market if I really want em. It also helps out the people that are on the fence, or don’t have the funds right on release day to have a shot. Good look Nike/JB.

[@johnstacyii4827]

I think of the 9's as late fall winter shoe.

[@jinobass]

I had da charcoal and olive OG’s in ‘94 and They are so comfy and so easy to slip on , so had to cop this colorway,and I’m glad I did! great video,thanx

[@ljvue]

These are legit. Don’t let the hype beast downplay these for ya. 1993 baby. Junior high.

[@tonio8870]

Right these in my top 10 drops of the year easy

[@spman201]

I think the OGs know, I had to cop absolute fire on feet. I been getting compliments mainly from the older crowd, I think the youngsters wanted that 23 as that was their OG.. understandably. Plus $210 was a bit pricy for some, they probably awaiting a discount…

[@leanin01]

Exactly 23 was my og but im still a true sneakerhead and im more of a og guy myself! These were 2 when these dropped in 94!

[@Znebby]

These are my favorite pair of Jordans besides the Bred 11s. Im so happy they didnt sell out, im going thru a hard time rn but its nice to knownthat down the road i wont have to pay too much higher than retail

I still have the 2010 crisp! The 1994 weren't heavy at all. Love this shoe but the price it's ridiculous! If i ever find them on sale I'll cop.

[@DEJAVU007]

I can remember when the aqua eights came out I'm 40 I sold newspapers to get them but my mom gave me $100 for my birthday they only had the display pair because they thought no one would buy them for 100.00 so I had to order them and wait 2 weeks how was the first kid in Idabel Oklahoma to have the aqua 8's and everybody was like oh my God those shoes are so beautiful in the early 90s like 91 92 there was no other shoe but Charles Barkley Clyde Drexler British Knights look like pandas the LA Gear and that's Jordan's biggest competition in the 90s was the LA Gear Joe Montana's LA Gear was so popular that they even had a scooter

[@jethrojacinto2798]

I'm saving up for more important milestones in my life right now but if i had the extra cheddar cheese these would've been an instant cop for me with it being an OG and a UNC/powder blue color way and they're still sitting in my size too 😩

[@ClearSmoke100]

These are my first jordan 9s and they do so hard 🔥🔥🔥

[@N3VIUS]

What do they do hard?

[@AJfiend]

Jordan never played in 9s, Mo. I had these in 94 and they are my favorite Jordans to play in. 😂 something about the huarache bootie.

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

This is a classic!!! Graduated in 1997. So this was the pair to get on the halls of the school. I got 2 pair. One to wear and 2nd on ice for a few years.

[@haygosta3337]

Nice touch to the Scarface theme 🫡

[@DestroyerOfTime93]

These will be my first pair of 9's. Waiting for them to go on sale, thank goodness the youth don't think these are 🔥

[@evensbaptiste6415]

They won't go on sale bro

[@DestroyerOfTime93]

@@evensbaptiste6415 I'd argue they are. A lot of pairs are still sitting in stores as well as online. 9's aren't a popular silhouette and most retros in the past 2 years have been at/below retail on the secondary market.

[@marcusmcgraw3519]

I think it was overlooked cuz it was a 9 and not a 4. The colorway is clearly one of the best you can find

[@Mr.Mavericke]

The black gortex version with the gum sole looks good for work.

[@VerdeTraks]

I copped for sure. They were my first pair Jordan's that I bought with my own money back in High School. 9/10 for sure!!! The OG Olives were my jam. I always to own a pair!!

[@njY2K]

Foamer you one of my fave youtubers of all time but yeah about the price for kicks, it's definitely subjective. What may not be worth 215 for you may not be the same for others. When I got these kicks, they were worth every single dollar. The way they resembled the OG's so closely, and the feeling slippin' them on for the first time? Worth every penny.

[@KBP18]

Can’t lie , that Uncivilized Carhart Sweater is 🔥

[@RobertStacks]

9's are super underappreciated. I especially love this colorway because of the black laces and tongue. Looks cleeeeeeannnn.

[@andrewrentschler4758]

Is that a poodle mix? Cute dog man. The 9s are fire but we need space jam 9s playoff 9s

[@FreshYoungDude]

I think 7 is the most underrated. Super comfortable and some fire colorways. All the OG releases are awesome plus there’s some heat like the flints etc. Nike continues to make us wait for raptors, bordeoux, and hares.

[@IAmInfinitus208]

I especially want the Hare 7s!

[@junito3112]

Will like a raptors color way again🙃😵‍💫

[@tonio8870]

I agree but id add 5s in the mix also as most under appreciated silhouettes

[@GGPG]

I just went 20k steps with my jordan 9 and it was awesome! I love them

[@fail_master_z]

Foam doing the head shakes at the end lately 😂. What started that I gotta know 😂

[@GoufinAround_]

I'm very picky on which retros I'll wear vs the ones that I like the look of. The retros that I've tried and had a great fit with are the 1's, the 5's, the 11's and the 12's. 3's and 4's are kinda iffy in that if I wanted to risk having to sacrifice my right pinky toe, I could wear a pair enough to break them in and have no issues.

[@mathiashimmelberger2033]

Respect to all the cats who dig Jordan 9's. That being said, I have never owned a pair of 9's and I don't plan to any time soon.

[@orincoon5585]

Love the color and the 9 style but not a must have especially with the price hike. Saving up for the og colorways. Great video and review guys!👍

[@philipwest6317]

powder blue 9 is an og colorway though.

[@the_beevsknees]

I really like these. Not this colorway, but the Jordan 9 anthracite was my first Jordan retro, so the 9 holds a special spot in my heart. Unfortunately, the funds weren't there to cop. I was able to try a pair on and it felt a little snug, so later down the line when I can cop I'd probably have to go up a full size as I'm a 12 and most don't sell a 12.5😅.

[@louisrothman383]

Theses are nice but I’m not a Jordan 9 fan. Great review fellas

[@statonbs]

To me, they didn’t come close to selling out because they aren’t that sweet and weren’t in 94. The idea that it’s a UNC color way of “any” Jordan means it’s gonna sell out just doesn’t hold water imo. The materials aren’t great, the 9 is far from the best, and they’re too expensive. I’m with ya - hard pass!

[@sir_ra]

Love these since I first saw them in 4th grade (94). Wore em a week straight when I finally got em. Gonna retire them until the summer.

[@isaacsilva8033]

this release helped me prove that the youtubers are the ones that create the hype on sneakers. The only Jordans i can get on release day are the ones that the youtubers don't talk about too much, for every time youtubers are talking too much about a specific release that means is a sneaker i won't be able to buy for retail

[@3rDegreeBernz]

I love 9’s and 10’s idk why they’re less popular but that’s probably why I love them more tbh

[@solesearching7020]

Im still thinking about getting this, I really like Jordan 9s. I hope this will go on sale. Super 🔥

[@3rDegreeBernz]

When you said “icy white outsole” I thought damn these would look dope with that same icy blue outsole on the 11s

[@davienhooten1756]

Got mine. 9's are my all time favorite J's

[@YJSho_Nuff_]

Meh

[@terrencemcphail5782]

doubled up live in eastern nc and super unc fan, if keep sitting gonna grab 2 more pair lol these may not come out for another 14 years. I was a freshman in high school and my peeps said no to those had got a pair of js like month earlier.

[@michaelwhite9288]

Classic and one of my favorite silhouettes but they never been comfortable or a top performing ball shoe even in 1994. But they always looked good with jeans and for style, which I guess now they’re really a life style shoe.

[@butleroferic1135]

Great pair but $210 is steep for these.

[@RickyVsWorld]

When Buckets said i see what your doing idk if i like it🤣🤣

[@aarongriffin5294]

Had them in High school 1994 when they came out in the old days. Although I was the only one with them back then they were very very hard too keep clean but not worth the price today. If I didn’t have them back then it would have been a must cop..

[@chenharry4848]

hard as bricks some say. Well.. a piece of History 👍🔥

[@NIVAD84]

I got the 9’a as a kid but in the olive and black color way. First pair of Jordans.

[@craiggorman1685]

Interesting seeing your pair,i watched forsytv review and the mudguard panel on the left of every pair sits way lower,this is a deal breaker for me

[@ducky25410]

I'm gonna say this yeah I copped these 9s and yes I complained about the price but idk why Jordan Brand and Nike think it's kool to raise the Price's of Jordan's and some OG Nike's it's gonna come to a point to where me and some people are gonna wait till they go on sale EVERY TIME THEY DROP and I'm kool with that too that's my opinion good vid.

[@Redheadkingpinn]

Got my pair with no regrets!!!!

[@thestarseeker8196]

The 9 is an underrated Jordan for sure 🔥 Nike’s powder blue has always been a little too candy-colored for me, though. Plus I’ve already got the OG Jumpman Team 1 in the UNC and the 2 Low UNC’s in my rotation right now, I don’t *need* another white/blue Jordan at the moment. But I’d definitely like to see them drop more 9’s.

[@Frank-uw5xq]

Never liked the 9s but one of my favorites I had was the 10s in that NC color-way, I also prefer O.G colors Breds but I agree on the "other" original color way like Grapes 8s ect.

[@angelmorales2250]

Buckets with the 8/10! I like it 😂😂

[@Turk_2023]

Shoes are too expensive to pick up every single pair.... These things were $150 14 years ago.... This means the next time this shoe releases it will be over $300.00. That is not inflation, that is greed.

[@ryanh3475]

Very clean and brings back memories but price tag a bit too high imo. If you're a fan of the OG, it's a no brainer to cop. It'll look fire on feet. For 210+, has to be an exclusive or its just taking up room at this point. Great review. 👍

[@kevinstrother9925]

Because they need to put a full length zoom unit in the 9s..most uncomfortable

[@TravisRichardson-k9x]

[@broweractualtv]

Love these. One of the 2 OG colorways I really love so I grabbed a pair.

[@Scott-cy6zv]

Only thing about these is the stitching on outside of each shoe above blue mud guard guys is your left shoe in much lower then the right shoe. Weird!! Just subbed also. And I ordered a pair of these. There my first 9’s for my collection

[@jasonkidd1689]

I had the 2010 pair, and they were the only pair of 9s I had in my collection. I'm not a fan of 9s, but I like these.

[@The1stNoel122]

No 23 in the back under the basketball. That way was a hard no for me. Idk why they left that out but it was wack.

Damn this video had me cracking up! Keep up the great work!

[@aarlam]

I had these when they released back in like 2010-11. I honestly didn't like them. The 9 is an iffy pair. The UNC color made no difference, and the paint was peeling.
