Jordan 9 Retro MOP Melo Dazzles in 2018

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 USD. 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.

Air Jordan Retro Mop Melo high-tops have large white panels, with intermittent sections of air holes, covering most of the body. White laces are threaded through metallic gold lace clips leading up the white tongue until reaching the baroque brown top. Air Jordan is stitched in white. Thin baroque brow panels wrap from the collar point, down the heel, across the length of the shoe, and finally around the toe. Metallic gold mudguards wrap the shoe and separate the brown panels from the white sole. Air Jordan 9 Retro team orange Jumpman logos are on the bottom of the sole and the side of the heel.
