Jordan 9 Retro UNC 2010 Release

The original Air Jordan 9 was released in November 1993, roughly one month after MJ announced his retirement from basketball. The retail price in the US was $125. The first Air Jordan 9 retro release took place in 2002 and included the first low-top version of the AJ 9. Additional retro releases followed every two years beginning in 2008, then annually starting in 2015 though the present day. In 2016, Nike released the Air Jordan 9 OG, which included the Space Jam model that celebrated the movie's 20th anniversary. Nike continues to announce more retro releases for the future.

History of Air Jordan 9

In 1993, the Air Jordan 9 hit the court for the first time, though Michael Jordan never scored a single point with the Chicago Bulls wearing the shoe. When Jordan surprised the world with news of his retirement on October 6, 1993, the AJ 9 was already in production. Nike had no choice but to move forward with the release even though the most famous feet in basketball had seemingly left the court forever.

Jordan 9 Retro UNC 2010

As another popular nod to Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina, the Jordan brand released the UNC colorway onto the Jordan 9 Retro silhouette in 2010. A white upper coats the majority of this release. Its mudguard and entire underlay are white. Black introduces itself on the eyelets, laces, tongue, heel tab, inner sock liner, the number 23 on the sneaker's heel, and the Jumpman logo on the lateral outsole. University Blue accents come into play on the inner tongue, the tongue's Air Jordan text, the heel's Jordan Globe logo, the shiny midsole, and the Jordan Jumpman that appears on the heel of the bottom tread. The rest of the outsole and tread returns to its signature white color, pulling the release together.
