We all can't go to Michael Jordan's personal basketball court and try out the latest installment of the Air Jordan series. But Jacques Slade could, so he made this video for us to experience it.

After playing three games in the Air Jordan XX9 on MJ's personal court, Slade shared his thoughts on the upcoming release. Slade noted that the reversed Flight Plate is a lot less noticeable when playing than it was in the XX8, while the tendril provides a better mid-foot transition than its predecessor.

Slade also points out how soft the all new performance woven upper is and says that the break in time for the shoe is minimal thanks to the new and improved upper.

Check out the video above to see Slade's full review and pick up the Air Jordan XX9 beginning September 6 for $225.
