The was the only ‘early’ (AKA -) model that never wore on an court, as when it released in 1993 he was off playing baseball. Nevertheless, the -designed sneaker has become an important part of the legacy, and a new ‘Fire Red’ colourway is set to drop later this year.
Revealed by , the Air Jordan 9 ‘Fire Red’ offers a sporty colour scheme that relegates its eponymous hue to third in the colour-blocking scheme. The majority of the upper is composed of crisp white leather, while ‘Cool Grey’ appears on the patent leather mudguards, nubuck heel overlays, familiar toothed midsole, collar and tongue. These would probably be dubbed ‘Cool Grey’ if it wasn’t for the Air Jordan of the same name that debuted in 2002 and was released again in 2012!
