- Is the Air Jordan 9 Retro Boot NRG waterproof?
- No. It is water resistant, not waterproof, and has no Gore-Tex membrane. It handles rain and slush but not standing water or long downpours.
- How does it compare with the regular Air Jordan 9 Retro?
- The Boot NRG uses a taller, water-resistant leather build and a gum outsole, so it is heavier and warmer than the standard retro. The regular 9 breathes better and feels more like a basketball shoe.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most owners say yes, with enough room for thicker winter socks. If you are between sizes and wear thin socks, consider going down half a size.
- Is there Air cushioning in the heel?
- Yes. It keeps the Air Jordan 9's heel Air unit, which owners describe as comfortable for walking and standing.
- Can you wear it for basketball?
- It is a lifestyle boot, not a performance shoe. The weight and leather build make it better for street wear than for playing.
- What is the outsole made of?
- A rubber outsole reinforced with glass fiber, which adds durability and grip on cold, dry pavement.
