Air Jordan 9

Originally released in November 1993, the Air Jordan 9 model was the first Air Jordan model release after his retirement and Jordan never played a whole season of basketball with this model. This model was created in the form of baseball cleats that Jordan used when playing minor-league baseball. Like the Air Jordan 7s and 8 model's, the Air Jordan 9 model featured an inner sock sleeve and nubuck accents. The sole featured different symbols and languages of different countries. The Air Jordan 9 has been the shoe chosen to adorn Jordans feet for his statue outside of the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. In popular culture, in the children's movie The Little Rascals one of the bullies chasing Alf Alfa and Spanky is wearing a pair of Air Jordan 9.
