The Air Jordan IX will forever go down in history as the one shoe Michael Jordan did not wear on the court, courtesy of his early retirement in 1993 - the same year the shoe dropped. Some pinned his retirement on the emotional trauma of losing his father in the summer of that year, yet still the shoe rolled out and 'player samples' for athletes such as Kendall Gill (#13) and Mitch Richmond (#2) kept the IX in the limelight. The new retro drops in a stealth black, carbon, yellow colourway with minimal branding and extras. You can cop your pair from Sneakersnstuff now.
