Features of the Air Jordan 9 Retro NRG Olive 2017

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 NRG Olive 2017

The popular Air Jordan 9 silhouette released a rugged, winter-ready NRG boot model of its sneaker in an Olive colorway for 2017. A brown suede wraps around the bottom and back of this upper, offering a toe, heel, side panel, and ankle mudguard. A black weather-resistant upper continues this design, and a textured pattern on the side panels provides further personality. Black carries over onto the sturdy metal eyelets, the padded tongue, and its thick laces. Black also coats the inner sock liner, heel tab, glossy midsole, and outer sole. True Red accents appear in the way of a Jordan Globe emblem on the heel, a Jumpman logo on the inner sole, and two Jumpman logos on the outer sole. The Olive colorway debuted on this NRG boot on December 6, 2017.
