Jordan 9 Retro Releases in a Black Boot Design

The original Air Jordan 9 was released in November 1993, roughly one month after MJ announced his retirement from basketball. The retail price in the US was $125. The first Air Jordan 9 retro release took place in 2002 and included the first low-top version of the AJ 9. Additional retro releases followed every two years beginning in 2008, then annually starting in 2015 though the present day. In 2016, Nike released the Air Jordan 9 OG, which included the Space Jam model that celebrated the movie's 20th anniversary. Nike continues to announce more retro releases for the future.

History of Air Jordan 9

In 1993, the Air Jordan 9 hit the court for the first time, though Michael Jordan never scored a single point with the Chicago Bulls wearing the shoe. When Jordan surprised the world with news of his retirement on October 6, 1993, the AJ 9 was already in production. Nike had no choice but to move forward with the release even though the most famous feet in basketball had seemingly left the court forever.

Jordan Brand offered its Air Jordan 9 silhouette in a more rugged boot design with the November 2013 release of the black colorway. A black leather mudguard overlays the suede upper and wraps around the toe, heel, and side panels. The suede upper integrates sections of texture to add personality to this shoe. For extra durability, the boot version of this sneaker incorporates heavy duty metal eyelets and thick black laces. Black continues on the tongue, inner sock liner, heel tab, and midsole. A Gum color then takes over on the outer sole, which features a heavily textured tread for enhanced texture and grip.
