Description

Originally released in 1994, the Air Jordan IX was a Japanese-inspired style that designer Tinker Hatfield chose for MJ’s statue in Chicago. The inner bootie, speed-lacing system and sole all spoke to Jordan’s winning qualities, which are carried over into the retroed version of the AJ IX. The Jordan Retro 9 features a minimalist upper that combines leather and nubuck materials, which looks great on top of the dynamic-fit inner bootie, internal support straps and one-pull lace locking system. The midsole is made of polyurethane with a large-volume Air-Sole unit in the heel and forefoot for cushioning. The sole is made of solid rubber with multidirectional patterns for traction.
