9 Sneakers We're Looking Forward to in '09

One of Nike’s classic sneakers will finally be retroed in 2009. The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 debuted in 1996 and many have waited until this moment. The Varsity Royal/White-Black-Volt will drop in June, while the OG colorway (White/Black-Fresh Water-Varsity Red) will drop in April.

    JBix,

    There are some MAJOR changes coming to the site in a matter of days. Trust me, big changes will happen to the brands on the left side of the page.

  • Ian P.

    Oh man I forgot about those Griffy’s coming back! I wanted those so bad back in the day…I’m also looking forward to the other Air Penny 2′s releases…I think that might be my favorite non-Jordan shoe…

    Looking forward to the big changes!

    one more thing, don’t it feel good to say “big up to all my haters!!…”

  • MJSF

    KD1′s, Air Yeezy’s and Hare 1′s are on my short wish list for 09.

  • g

    i hope they don’t try and kick are heads off for the Yeezy’s i am def. not gonna pony up air jordan prices for those….but i gotta have em’.

  • alan lovedog

    i dont understand the hype over this yeezy model – with that giant thick strap they look like something people in hospital wear after an operation on their feet.

  • ThE STANDARD AKA THE FOOTWORK KING

    those yeezys wouldnt be that bad if the tongue was a tad bit smaller. they look like skayeboard shoes. if they ever drop a black/red model ill buy them

  • ThE STANDARD AKA THE FOOTWORK KING

    skateboard

  • ThE STANDARD AKA THE FOOTWORK KING

    if i was kobe i would get a laker colorway of griffeys made and ball in them since they have 24 on them

  • lionheart

    Those yeezy’s are gonna be a lot doper than we think. Saw a cat out here in Jersey killing those black/gray and orange joints.
    Yeezy and Eggplant Foams will be my only cop.

  • lionheart

    #83. You sound stupid. How is Kobe gonna ball in a turf shoe made for somebody else.

  • mark

    cant wait for the yeezeys im gonna cop those 3 cw if they release

  • sneakeman

    “#83. You sound stupid. How is Kobe gonna ball in a turf shoe made for somebody else.”
    LOL! the heat that im seeing is the Yeezy’s and griffey’s. Kobes are nice too but thats about all i saw. I did also notice the list you guys had of other shoes you expect so really they didnt leave anything out if you can just read

  • jsrgreat

    ^^#85 &87- you both sound stupid because obviously you must not realize that kobe has worn jordans, which is a “shoe made for somebody else”, and football players wear special air jordans made into cleats so they can wear them on the field all the time, so im sure if kobe wanted he could have nike cook up a special pair for the court. not saying that he would, just saying that the two of you sound dumb.

  • greenmaker24

    im def looking forward to the griffeys and yeezys

  • ThE STANDARD AKA THE FOOTWORK KING

    #85/87 GET OFF MY KCID; I’VE BALLED IN A GAME BEFORE WEARING THE NIKE AIR MUSCLE MAX (1997) IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THOSE ARE TRAINERS AND I GOT A FEW DUNKS ON LAMES LIKE YALL WEARING THOSE; YOU MORONS DONT REALIZE HE ACTUALLY BALLING IN RUNNING SHOES NOW.

  • MikeyDaFlyBoricua

    I’ve got my eye on those Miami Heat Penny 2′s comin out, lovin that colorway, and of course the griffeys baby.

  • ThE STANDARD AKA THE FOOTWORK KING

    ALSO BALLING IN THOSE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN HOOPING IN BARKLEYS,UPTEMPOS,PENNYS,ETC… YOU IDIOTS ACT LIKE I SAID GO BALL IN CLEATS

  • Ej

    Griffey’s just because of nestolgia reasons.
    True Flights of course
    Maybe the Yeezy’s but without all the pink
    Kobe’s are fire But I cant wear Lakers colors
    Looking Forward to some hot Air force exclusives and colorways

  • Ej

    Wow the Supra and Yeezy’s kinda look-a-like.

  • Alvin I

    i guesss…….

  • sam

    yeah! just got the house of hoops sugar ray clover 2.5s

  • sam

  • http://my.nicekicks.com/user/bklynsSNKRhead.html bklynsSNKRhead

    quick question did u say MELO is slumping wtf am i hearing he’s averaging 20 and 7 i know its not the best but hes not slumping he’s one of the L’s top scorers and dropped 33 in quarter so dat ish must b a typo… o and ppl stop b!tch!n da list isn’t bad just because some of the shoes that don’t have leaked pics arnt up there and the Yeezy’s r coo and #62 STFU just cuz Kayne put out a R&B album don’t mean that he feel of as a rapper he’s still one of the top lyricists in hip hop and don’t bring up no under ground dudes cuz if they are better than them we would have at least heard about them.. i don’t wanna hear about professor X and Flip Birds McGruff.

  • Mr. Willson

    Yo Nice Kicks! No love for the Solebox x Reebok ERS 2000 collab? What up with that? *lol* DEFNITELY on my must cop list! Feb 7th can’t get here quick enough. *lol*

    I could care less about those Supra’s. However, I don’t wear them and I don’t skate; to each his own.

    On the fence about the Kanye’s. Gonna have to see them in person. Of course, by the time I decide, the ‘hypebeasts’ will be charging $2837287387 for ‘em. *lol* About the only kicks on this list I remotely care about are the NB’s and the Griffey’s. :P

  • http://myspace.com/krook krook

    looks like the 7s on steroids

  • ms meca

    man cincinnati is soooooooo late and not up on ish.. we are not gettin those 6 fusions here and we barely got the 11/12 package… had i known ahead of time i would have sent sum money bacc home to the chi and had sumone ship me a pair!!!! i hope we get those black and red penny.. those griffeys and those yeezys! wishful thinkin hun!!!!

  • Denrock

    For all who are anticipating any Jordan Retro’s I believe 08 was the last we will see them. The CDP’s were the last of the Retro’s. Correct me if I am wrong.

  • Hyperdunkman

    Looking forawrd to the Kobe Hyperdunk IV Hybrid, those must come out, the new jordan packs, gatorade VI’s, Infared 1′s, 2k9′s, and those Air Yeezy’s…also looking forward to some new Lebrons.

  • gonzo

    Those yeezys are as overhyped as kanye himself!

  • dust

    this list is terrible

    reggie uptempos?
    orange 95s?
    white blue penny 3?
    maimi penny 2?
    blk grey jordan 1 highs?

    half the shoes on the list suck anyway

  • http://nicekicks kid

    The Air yeezy’s are pure fire. And im looking forward for the Gatorade 6′s

  • Jon

    This was the wackest list ever. What clown made this. They should just cut there feet off.

  • quail

    carolina blue true flight 7s are perfect, gunna try to get

    kobe’s shoes are alright, he went lowcut cause he wants the lightest shoes possible but I wouldn’t suggest them to any other player. Everyone knows that NBA players proffesionally tape the hell outa their ankles but for anyone not in the NBA, especially people playing above the rim, I would not rock those shoes on the court, your just asking for broken ankles. Hyperdunk is where its at right now

    Hare Jordan 1′s have some possibility but without pictures of the shoes its too early to tell

    All the SB’s look like crap and so does the jordan 2009

  • soulie17

    first of all theres gonna be a DMP 2!!??!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! I have to get that. Also the Yeezys are cool but not too much creativity its just a mix between the jordan 3,5,and other a couple other shoes

  • D truth

    kanye is RRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW

  • Steveo

    These are freakin fresh as a baby’s bottom

  • Steveo

    wtf mate

  • jerry24

    zoom kobe IV’s are fire!!!!!!!!

  • dremji

    this list sucks big time…kobe’s shoes are always the worst..just alot of bad decisions guys and who suggested new balance be put up there ya trippin….but kudos to the true flights and the griffeys….and why werent the foams put up there….im gone

  • Chevyboy

    Got em

  • shape

    hella ugly!!!

  • ELYSE

    I have ended up looking all about for all of this content. Thankfully I just found this in Bing.
