Originally released in 1993, the Air Jordan 9 marked another iconic design for lead Nike architect Tinker Hatfield . The shoes were released along schedule with the Air Jordan numbered line, but it was during the time of Michael Jordan 's absence from basketball to pursue baseball. While other NBA stars rocked the sneakers, they're the only core Jordan sneaker to never be worn by MJ on the hardwood.
Still, the design holds a special place in the hearts of dedicated collectors, releasing recently in a "Powder Blue" ensemble and resurrecting the silhouette. This upcoming "Flint" colorway makes a return for the first time since its original release in 2002.
Air Jordan 9 "Flint"
The "Flint" Jordan 9 returns in its original White/French Blue/Flint Greycolorway, a subtle but unrelated nod to the colors worn by Jordan during his time with the Washington Wizards. Featuring a white leather upper and french blue hits along the sockliner, laces, tongue, and eyestays, the pair is recognized by the Flint grey nubuck suede mudguard leading into a grey midsole. The outsoles are white as we see french blue branding along the back heel.
