The Air Jordan 9 Retro returns to the catalogue in one of the most beloved OG colourways. This Tinker Hatfield-designed basketball shoe, launched during MJ’s first retirement from the NBA, saw a fair share of popularity when the GOAT rocked the shoe during his short-lived baseball career and in the legendary basketball movie Space Jam. Set to headline the brand’s autumn roster after its last appearance in 2012 and an NRG version in 2017, this Air Jordan 9 Retro “Olive” 2024 stays true to the specifications of the ‘93 edition, fully embracing its winter boot vibe.
This classic AJ9 sports a stealthy black leather upper with light olive suede overlays crawling from front to back. The plastic eyelets and “one pull” lacing system pay homage to versatile workwear boots. A red Jumpman logo adorns the lateral rear, complementing the woven “Air Jordan” label on the tongue, embroidered "23", and globe symbol on the heel panel. The polyurethane midsole carries dual Air units in the forefoot and rear for responsive cushioning. Conceptualised by designer Mark Smith, the rubber outsole showcases a unique traction pattern with inspirational words in various languages as a nod to MJ’s approach on and off the court, taking storytelling to the next level.
