An original colorway of the Air Jordan 9 is reportedly returning soon.
Sneaker leak social media account @zSneakerheadz shared images of the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue,” a classic colorway of Michael Jordan‘s ninth signature shoe that originally released in 1994.
Images of the forthcoming reissue of the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” have yet to surface but the aforementioned account has shared a mockup depiction to give fans an idea of what to expect when the sneaker drops next year. The sneaker features a premium white leather upper that’s offset by a black tongue and matching black shoelaces. The shoe’s standout element is the vibrant blue accents on the sock liner and covering the entirety of the midsole. Completing the look is a white rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 9 was designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield in ’94 but the sneaker wasn’t worn on the court by MJ as he retired from basketball the prior year to pursue a career in baseball.
