Air Jordan 2009 Detailed Look
Posted by Nick Engvall | Dec 2, 2008 We recently gave you a look at the upcoming Air Jordan 2009. Now we have a detailed look at what is believed to be the future of Air Jordan’s.
With the last of the numbered Air Jordan’s supposedly coming to an end with the Jordan XX3, the Air Jordan 2009 has 23 years of shoes to fill. You can bet that Jordan Brand has upped the ante with new technology on these kicks, however the possibility that these shoes get slight variations before they hit the shelves of your local retailer still exists. Without carrying on the tradition of the numbered Jordan’s, what is to be expected for the future of Jordans? Tell us what you think about the Air Jordan 2009. |

man the black and white ones look aight but like the rest of you guys said i dunno bout no 190 bucks man, dont J know we in a recesion? my car note isnt even 190! Def…
Dec 28, 2008 at 7:38 pm
yo for me to cop these joints that shiny thing on the side would have to be a DIAMOND.
Dec 16, 2008 at 10:52 am
I am a jordan fanatic. i have spent coutless dollas on air jordan through the years. some i have bought evey colorway of one shoe like i did with the 23’s so belive me when i tell how disapointed i am in the jordan brand to pass this off as a pair of actual air jordans. jumpmans or team j’s maybe but as the actual new jordan shoe? im disgusted. and the price is horrible. the 11’s 7’s 13’s and 23’s were strokes of genious. these new ones….. i would buy some fakes out the trunk of someones car before i spend my good money for them. wouldnt even wear them if they were a gift. id take the back and get some retros
Dec 9, 2008 at 9:45 am
what the hell they look like cheap 22 knock offs - I am sticking with my 1 - 23 jordan collection - Jordans are not on my kick list for next year bering on the King James !!!
Dec 8, 2008 at 10:50 am
I thought it was the dark colorway that ruined this shoe at first yet after looking at the white I realize I was wrong… it’s just a butt ugly kick!
For a calendar that’s CIK click my sig
Dec 7, 2008 at 6:05 pm
what inspired this colorway? black and white? is not a BULLS colorway? nor a WIZARDS colorway? and definitely not a UNC colorway! this colorway stinks! the BLACK and GOLD is much much better!!! it’s shinier, patent leather, and shiny looking!! yes, i know i said shiny twice…
Dec 7, 2008 at 6:01 pm
i don’t know if these would look good with jeans?
or with shorts?
Dec 7, 2008 at 5:59 pm
so are these black and white colorways???
Dec 7, 2008 at 5:56 pm
hey? these aren’t patent leather like the black ones!!!
no, not feeling this colorway…!
Dec 7, 2008 at 5:55 pm
the black versions look way much better. too white and plain!
Dec 6, 2008 at 9:16 pm
it looks like da 14’s and da 22’s mixed
Dec 5, 2008 at 11:08 am
the black one is better…
Dec 5, 2008 at 8:27 am
Not bad at all and I like the unique design. Plain, what is that supposed to mean? A sneaker does not need a bunch of colors, straps, and air bubbles to be detailed. There is much to admire about this new Air Jordan. Furthermore, JB has not released any information on the sneaker’s performance capabilities and structural design, i.e., technology. However, I must agree that the price is ridiculous. You may never like the sneaker and that is your right. But give the sneaker a chance it might grow on you. The last nine pairs of Air Jordans were not appreciated at first, but, yet many of those same people bought them in droves.
LATER!!!!!
Dec 4, 2008 at 12:54 pm
THEY SO PLAIN LIKE A PAYLESS SHOE IM ONLY ROCKIN RETRO’S RIP TO REAL JORDANS FROM THE EARLY 80′Z AND ALL THE 90′Z WHEN WE USED TO SKIP SCHOOL TO GO LINE UP FOR THE NEW JAYS THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Dec 3, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I honestly don’t think these are so bad.. I really didn’t like the 23’s when they first came out but they gradually grew on me.. these are certainly not the best I’ve seen (I, III, IV, XI, XII) but they are better than the worst I’ve seen (IX, XV, XX)
I noticed one thing from the pics of the bottom of the shoe (4th pic from the top). If you look real close at those grey areas on the heel, the top grey section shows “XX” and the bottom grey section shows “IV”.. interesting.
Dec 3, 2008 at 4:39 pm
OMG THEIR SO UGLY…SMH
Dec 3, 2008 at 3:51 pm
They look cheaply made and sloppy. I know the whole considered concept and stuff but they did not consider reading jordan fan blogs or anything. These look bootleg. And the price is stupid hi. I can’t fux wit it…. I’m out>>>>
Dec 3, 2008 at 12:16 pm
i like them they are just to much i dont see why they would come out with something like the xx3 and then come out wiht something like this it makes n since the guy that made all the jordans through the 14 series needs to come back and show them how it is done
Dec 3, 2008 at 10:57 am
the whole reason we buy j’s is cuz of its unique designs but this is just wrong they look like t macks and iversons combined and they’re just a bit pricey after the packages sucked us dry
Dec 3, 2008 at 10:55 am
by the way, when the 21’s came out, they were too plain looking, but i still saw ppl rockin’ them. but these are indeed to plain, jb just couldn’t top the XX3, and they knew it. they might stop at 24 or 2009, just wait and see how it sells… late!!!
Dec 3, 2008 at 10:53 am
i am gonna say it… i am gonna hate myself, but i am gonna say it. you’all hating on this shoe now, come Feb., some ppl will like them and buy them. we just haven’t seen them in person. the price though, still blows me away… geez, jordan prices just keep going up. does jb know that we’re in a recession???
Dec 3, 2008 at 10:47 am
to #81,
that’s what these shoes remind me off, nurse shoes… that’s just it…. these are perfect for my friend who works at Kaiser..! Merry X’Mas bro.. but you’ll have to wait till Feb. to get these…
i know you’re a jordan freak
Dec 3, 2008 at 10:32 am
man da r ugly, i aint wasten my money on dat. da proly came from payless!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 3, 2008 at 9:39 am
These things look like Easy Spirt nurse shoes
Dec 3, 2008 at 1:13 am
i think theyre straight. i definitely wont cop.. especially for 190. but if they hit clearance for low enough they might become my ball kicks
Dec 3, 2008 at 12:44 am
These shoes are gross im tired of these new skool jordans fusions 2009’s they all gross that why I only buy orignal color retroes …
Dec 3, 2008 at 12:10 am
hey, there are 2 jumpmans on the shoe, on the tongue and on the insole… but it looks too plain. are they running out of ideas? they really should have stopped at 23!!! don’t think i’ll be copping these, but maybe the black ones, when they’re on sale… like half off!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 11:34 pm
they look like great hooping shoes but they are absoultly hideous and to high priced
Dec 2, 2008 at 11:02 pm
i have been collecting jordans since 1984 and i won’t stop.
Dec 2, 2008 at 10:53 pm
What sucks is I know my store will have these on the shelves for like a year and a half whenever they do come out, but the f*ck up shoe buyers would close on the Lebron 6’s…
Dec 2, 2008 at 8:17 pm
WILL NOT COP
Dec 2, 2008 at 8:10 pm
i must admit jb has been slippin alot lately, but these joints are kinda hot!! i read must of the replies and they are mostly negative, to each his own, but if you want kicks that are different from anything else these are dope. not worth 190 beans though!
Dec 2, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Those shoe strings don’t go with the style of shoe.
That ankle support looks good though.
And we all know that the XIV (14) sucked when it came to ankle support.
Dec 2, 2008 at 7:44 pm
These are better then the black ones i just saw. JB is taking a chance like they did in the past, but i just think the shoe has too much going on. Not clean at all. Are these for ballin or rockn’?
Dec 2, 2008 at 7:42 pm
im speechles, it brakes my heart to see these with th e name jordan plasterd on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pitifull
Dec 2, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Maybe Jordan Brand needs to get in line behind the failed banks and investment firms and the big 3 auto makers for a BAIL OUT PACKAGE BECAUSE THEY REALLY HURTING. These are a sham.
Dec 2, 2008 at 6:57 pm
to #46..you F@#$ing crazy…..ain’t lining up for S@#T, even if they list it limited. They nothing but trash…you the Hype Beast that’s gonna line up…..peace. Oh and you prolly think they hot. WHACK!!!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Bless JBs SOUL!
Dec 2, 2008 at 6:22 pm
WTF ONLY 1 JUMPMAN ON THE DAMN SHOE?
Dec 2, 2008 at 6:02 pm
I dont know why jordan continues on tryin on makin new shoes. Dont the retros make enought money? And the fusions why fix something that wasnt broken
Dec 2, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Come on those r ugly ,they could at least make the fusions look a little better
Dec 2, 2008 at 5:37 pm
F*****ing Ugly
Dec 2, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Im feelin these, u can tell my the hyperdunks and some adidas that shoes r tryin to get a lil more hi tek with stability and comfort. these seem to be falling in the same path. i actually like the way they look also. 190!….is ridiculous. maybe when they come in low…ill get em cause they will be cheaper.
Dec 2, 2008 at 5:20 pm
really ugly
Dec 2, 2008 at 5:18 pm

Dec 2, 2008 at 5:04 pm

NICE JB
Dec 2, 2008 at 4:56 pm

Dec 2, 2008 at 4:33 pm
F***ING SUCK!!!! :[
Dec 2, 2008 at 4:30 pm
The front reminds me of clown shoes lol, they’re too bulky YUCK!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I like these…im waitin for a bulls color way!
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:54 pm
these are just too plain MJ please just go back to selling retros
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:48 pm
well I sure didn’t expect them to outdo the XX3s, which is why they should just stop.
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I like the potential that this designs have? but it does look a little And 1′ish I’m just sayin? but I almost can guarantee that this will look much beeter in person? just a feelin!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:16 pm
GARBAGE LIKE THIS MAKES ME NOT WANT TO BE A SNEAKERHEAD!!!!!!!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:13 pm
^^^frugstar look real close at the tounge
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:12 pm
like i said jordans are becoming so damn over rated they’re quality is decreasing as is their creativity
the upcoming jordan VI gatorades had better be worth it if they are even an official release can somebody help me get some images of them so i can see for myself
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Those are just terrible, they have a heel on them i mean come on JB you have to give us more than that
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:08 pm
where is the jumpman? i know there is one on the insole but i want people to know what i’m wearing. very plain nothing catches the eye or heart. the 23 was different, but good different, these are just another dull team jordan sneak
Dec 2, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Everybodies hatin, but as soon as someone says they are limited, evey last one of you will line up.
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:56 pm
TRASH….GARBAGE….BASURA
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:53 pm
I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHIG SO UGLY FUSIONS LOOK BETTER THAN THESE SOMEBODY HAS TO BE FIRED AT JB ILL KEEP MY MONEY IN MY POCKETS NEXT YEAR I HAVE PLEANTY OF SHOES
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:50 pm
THEY LOOK LIKE A CHEAP SHOE FROM KMART………….AND YOU KNOW THEY GOING TO BE 185 DOLLARS……SORRY ONLY RETROS 4 ME NO FUSIONS NO NEW MADE UP CRAP!!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:50 pm
these look like they got some design cues from the XIV. But other than that im not gonna just let this be my mental picture of the 2009. i see this as being just a rough draft of it…why would JB just leave this shoe the way it is. I see more design being implemented in this one. For example…the Melo 5’s looked terrible at first then they went in and added some more design and the production model is just sick…..so imma wait on these to get better cuz they prolly will.
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:48 pm
PAYLESS SHOES
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:36 pm
these suck for the fact there $190. When they hit the outlets I might consider for hoopin purposes only ya dig. J’s are the sickest ballin kicks!
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:28 pm
ha ha ha ha and ha…. this is disaster…way to go to 2009. Thank God my $ will rest in peace!so bring more clowns…and Jordan is history.
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:28 pm
forget the technology these r ugly as hell
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:21 pm
these look way to much like cp3’s new kix its like jb’s tryin to push us towards that style
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:13 pm
…them jointz really better make u fly on the court cuz as is -they aint fly 4 the streetz
Dec 2, 2008 at 2:01 pm
… JB brand has disappointed me again
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:53 pm
These look like they will be great to ball in but as far as off court style, absolutely not. I will pick these up once they hit discount prices just to ball in. Its not a bad thing that they are focusing more on the basketball end but one of the greatest qualities about Jordans since day one has been that they always look and feel like shoes for the basketball court(thats first and foremost) and they look like shoes you can kick back in, go out on a date in, or hang out with friends in. Also though, I highly suspect that this isnt the final product and that there will be some significant changes made between now and Febuary(or March, whenever they come out).
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:53 pm
….I have to admit that the 23s grew on me - I didn’t like em at first but now I got 4 pairs. These look wierd to me but I don’t know if this is the final design AND I really can’t pass judgement til I see these in person ( lots of J’s look better in real life- y’all know that !!!) . I might get these and I might not - I don’t know yet - but as a sneakerhead I’m suprised as to how CLOSE MINDED people are . Jordan sneakers wouldn’t be so iconic if it wasn’t for the chances they took and really - wouldn’t you be dissapointed if they looked like something you already had?
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:49 pm
jb IS DONE SON
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:47 pm
well the 16s,17s,1s high,fresh prince 5s,and some 7s im just done with jordan….puma’s can have it adidas 2
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:47 pm
bbbbbbbooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:45 pm
wow there gonna milk the jordan name dry… smh, its a sad day for the sneaker community
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:42 pm
well i can finally start saving my money cuz im done with jb unless they start retroing the 11’s. = )
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:38 pm
HIDEOUS
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:38 pm
wow these are hot im definetely going to cop 2 pairs
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Brand Jordan is DEAD in ‘09
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:32 pm
It seems that JB is coming out with actual basketball shoes and not shoes to be styling in. The Jordan 2009 is a basketball shoe not a styling shoe. The 23’s to wasn’t really a styling shoe, just to play ball in. That’s all JB is mostly coming out with.
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I doubt these are Airs
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:25 pm
WHOA! I DON’T THINK SO!!! These are so ugly to me. After the 11/12 pack, I’m going to save money.
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:20 pm
really clean i like the cuts and edges in the design, and they seem very very comfy
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:15 pm
NOPE! Can’t do it, not for these jointz.
Dec 2, 2008 at 1:03 pm
bad bad bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Disrespectful!
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:59 pm
I am done with buying the yearly jordans if this is the end product
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:56 pm
23 were so beautifuly done and alot went into them. Say what you want about the fact that the xx3 went from hated to loved by the time it came out, THESE LOOK LIKE A $115 team shoe as pictured here (the gr box in the pic does not help). For all the people that put so much great work into the 23, looks like they had nothing left in the tank to do much with these
I would not be shocked if the final version came out looking significantly different than tnese. so lets not jump to conclusions.
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:52 pm
WTF…If the Shaq’s and the Olajuwon shoes had a baby together this is what it would produce. WTF is jordan brand thinking. I have never paid 190 for poo before and i dont think i will start in 2009!
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:52 pm
i take that back. i DON’T want to see these in other colorway. wack!
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Oh no.
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I hate to say it but it’s officaily over folk’s. Retro’s only from here on out.
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:40 pm
those are UGLY they look like And-1 you could buy from payless for 50 bucks. not 190 dollars. like a lot of people have said im done after the 11/12 pack. and i have only been collecting for like 2 years.
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:36 pm
These look good but not really like Jordans. To me they do look like the 14 and 22s combined like someone said above but it also looks like an adidas shoe to me for some reason.
And it’s definitely not worth $190
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:32 pm
so ugly….
When will they come back to the roots?
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:31 pm
whats the point for air jordan comes to the end on 23’s?
is that just change the name from air jordan 24 to 2009?
looks like 14+20…
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:30 pm
these ain’t that bad BUT…. for a buck 80 or 90 Ef that not woth it the 23’s are pretty pricy too… Easy PASS!!!
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:27 pm
they look like air jordan 14 mixed with 22’s
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:26 pm
omg u think these people would give us a break with all this $$$$….how many car can they have…2008 has killd us sneakerheads, throw us a bone come on….190 185 whats next 300 o wait thats done too….i think ive about had enough
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Hideous.
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:24 pm
just sad!
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Not worth 190 im done with new jordans retros is where my money goes
Dec 2, 2008 at 12:21 pm
first. they seem really comfortable.. but absolutely uglyyyyyy
