Discover the Jordan 9 Retro NRG Olive

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 NRG 2017 Olive

The Jordan 9 Retro NRG Olive, released in 2017, updates the previous silhouette by making it more suitable for winter. It features a boot construction, a rugged outsole, and a leather and suede upper. The eyelets are made of metal with a D-ring shape and rope shoelaces come with the shoes. For additional protection from the elements, the upper features a weather-resistant coating. Multiple traction patterns are used on the outsole with a thicker tread for the forefoot. The base of the upper is black with brown suede overlaying the edges. Black outsoles and a red Jumpman logo on the midsole complete the design. There is also a red circular Jumpman stamp on the backs of the shoes.
