I was 14 when these dropped back in '94. No one liked them then, either. Only a handful of people. The 23 isn't even supposed to be on these, only the globe. Just because it's an OG doesn't mean it's worth $200 and up. Us older guys just know better.
That’s really good to know because I thought all of them came with the 23 on the back of the shoe. Always educating the newbies!!! Did the different languages only begin when it went global???

I didn’t cop these just because I got the baby blue low tops 11s already but I do gotta say they are fly 🔥 gorgeous summer sneaker nice and bright color you gonna kill it when you rock them Much love from the Bronx
🔥🔥 shoe! I copped a pair. Just wish the white Leather quality was better like the kind on reimagined Bred 4’s and also wish the Retail price was cheaper than $210!!! Should have been @ $175
Yeah back then for some reason these were the only 9’s that didn’t have the 23. The 2010 had a 23 in Carolina blue but it also had a black outline on it which kind of ruined the look for me.
Didn't these suppose to come with the #23 on those back in the day never the less i wud cop but i gotta get them OG Penny Atlantic Blues first then circle back around for these if they're still available 👌🏾
These were the only pair back in 94 that didn’t have the 23 for some reason and I’m glad that these don’t because these are the closest things to the originals that we have gotten. The 2010s they did put a 23 on it, but then they also put a black outline around the 23 which made them look like trash.
@@TheRealBigALKicks sweet! Appreciate the speedy response dude, time difference between the US and Thailand is nuts. Thanks a bunch 🙂 I'll go with the 9's then.
Nice pickup! I decided to pass because I still have the 2010 retro in great condition. Probably the only retro I prefer over the OG as I like the 23 on the back. Was this the final colorway you needed to complete the OG set?
Thank you 🙏🏾! I don’t have my olives anymore so I definitely need those as well! The 23 is definitely a nice touch on the heel! The blue is ok, but I prefer how it looked on the last retro, but I’ll take the OG specs : the box, Nike air on the insole, etc
Can u explain something to me fam? Cuz I ain't cop these 9s since 2010 when they last dropped wit the 23 on the back...So I been out the sneaker game for a min lol But what do you have to do to buy jordans like this now? Like, could I still go in a shoe store and pay for them outta pocket if they're on the shelves or what?? 🤔
Depending on what size you wear, these are on shelves right now! But they had a raffle but a lot of people didn’t want these, so to answer your question, yes
I think its more of people dont like the price. And its a mostly white shoe. Also 9's never were a popular model. OG colorway heads only will appreciate these.
I’m not a fan of the white bottom period. This shoe has no longevity. I don’t rock all white Air Force ones for this same reason. Sneaker heads act like ppl should buy every pair that drop wtf. Once the sole color changes those are cooked
Can’t expect 🥷🏽 who ain’t OG’s to appreciate true OG’s 🤷🏽♂️
💯💯💯💯💯
Absolutely 👍🏾

@@TheRealBigALKicksshape still off shade of blue off again and no 23 in the back and I know the leather is barely decent it's an easy pass
Period!!! I didn’t get why people were making complaints when the original did NOT have a 23 on the back per the info from The General.
These were a must
Most definitely 💯 💯💯💯

Thank you 🙏🏾! The languages were put on the shoe to show that he was a global icon.
Im a wide footer. Usually Im a size 11 but I went up a half size on these because of the hurache style inner lining and they fit perfect.
first pair of 9s. loved the review. good energy. peace.
Thank you 🙏🏾!!!!
once again another great review!! Loveeeeee me some 9's. The black and olive were my first pairs handed down from my dad at age 10. im 32 now!
love the outsole reviews in your videos too dog
Thank you for the feedback!! I appreciate it!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡
I love mine and I’m keeping them on ice for as long as i can. Couple years these will turn heads, real collectors item.
True indeed!!!
Might have to grab these on sale, appreciate the review fam
Anytime bro 😎!
Definitely would love to hear something from a wide footer considering my struggle being flat footed lol
One always will chime in! It’ll be in the comments soon!
extremely comfortable.
I’m flat for the two you just gotta put your own insole in there
@@BbitchBoy-g3l thank you sooooo much
Absolutely feeling them and the fit!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
🥶🅿️Ooo them frozen thangs! Hardest thing dropped 1/2 of the year!
Yes indeed !!!!
If u had on the 92 tar heels shorts, you would be rocking them like Mike
💯💯💯💯
I got wide feet and flat feet and there comfortable to me....was a must cop.... 🔥

I had the TRUE OG versions of these because my homie played for UNC. I gave him some authentic Syracuse game shorts for these as a trade.
I didn’t cop these just because I got the baby blue low tops 11s already but I do gotta say they are fly 🔥 gorgeous summer sneaker nice and bright color you gonna kill it when you rock them
Much love from the Bronx
Salute 🫡!! Thanks family! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
These are so cleannnnn! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Had to grab these!
I love these man!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Minw will be here tomorrow. Great review, I'm OG and my Jordan's gotta be OG. 😊
Thank you! And Good choice!
Got my shoes and they are comfy and look great.
I can’t believe ppl was saying these wasn’t fire these my favorite 9’s
🔥🔥 shoe! I copped a pair. Just wish the white Leather quality was better like the kind on reimagined Bred 4’s and also wish the Retail price was cheaper than $210!!! Should have been @ $175
Dope!! I agree!!
Funny thing is I used to work at Nike, and I assume that all Air Jordan 9s had the 23 logo, thanks for the education.
Just because you used to work at Nike (probably just a store, as that) doesn't mean you'd know everything about every shoe.
Yeah back then for some reason these were the only 9’s that didn’t have the 23. The 2010 had a 23 in Carolina blue but it also had a black outline on it which kind of ruined the look for me.
Nice shoe's!!!

You forgot the edition of the blue tint on the edge of the leather the OGs ain’t have that 🔥
Just wish they was light powder instead of dark
Where did you get the shirt? 🔥🔥
Outrank brand! I got it from DTLR!
But that 23 on the back would have made them pop lil more but I cop a pair
OG over everything
If I have wide feet can I take out the insoles to wear them and also loose lace them
Yes you can!
They fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

How's the ankle support by man? Now got a bum ankle and I'm looking at these for walking about.
These should be good! The huarache bootie provides a snug but comfortable lockdown over the ankles so these should work well!
@@TheRealBigALKicks sweet! Appreciate the speedy response dude, time difference between the US and Thailand is nuts. Thanks a bunch 🙂 I'll go with the 9's then.
I’m feelin those. W 👍🏾
I like them, just don't need them. If I catch them with a 25-30% off on nike I will scoop them up.

Had to cop a fresh pair 👍🏾
Yes 🙌🏾!
Because they look like gym shoes you wear those 2,3 years down the line
The Jumpman on the back is a different blue (powder blue) from the rest of the shoe. I’ll pass.
🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s not that we don’t like the sneaker…we don’t like the price that Nike is violating us with. Simple
💯💯💯💯

🫡🫡🫡🫡 thanks bro!! 😎
Bought 4 pair
Nice!!!
I think its more of people dont like the price. And its a mostly white shoe. Also 9's never were a popular model. OG colorway heads only will appreciate these.
Great observation 🫡
I don’t like em no 23 and the blue is off from the unc colors just my opinion
I’m not a fan of the white bottom period. This shoe has no longevity. I don’t rock all white Air Force ones for this same reason. Sneaker heads act like ppl should buy every pair that drop wtf. Once the sole color changes those are cooked
I got the 9s love them and bro I want those ninja turtles adidas!!!!!
Just look at your thumbnail. They don’t match the actual UNC color.
The only reason I don’t like them is because the bottom is white
Understandable!
Pass for me. Not a fan of 9s
dem bois mid af, nephew! Dat blu ain OG shade!
BOOM!!! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
There not even unc blue they don’t match
