A Look at the Jordan 9 Retro Classic Sample

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 9 Retro Classic Sample

Revealed in 2020, the Jordan 9 Retro Classic Sample sports the colorway that was intended for the Jordan Brand Classic, an annual basketball game for high school all-star players. In 2020, this event was canceled. These exclusive sneakers feature a blue/green gradient with paint splatters for the midsole. This stands out against the white upper. White was also used for the outsoles. Iridescent eyelets complement the design, and pink colors the heel tabs and branding logos. The upper is made of leather and glossy leather overlays.
