The Air Jordan 9 (IX) Retro – Black / Light Olive – True Red was originally released on March 9, 2002. They feature a black leather upper surrounded by an olive green durabuck, which does look like an odd colorway, but seems to grow on you the longer you look at it. Releases that do not feature official team colors (Chicago Bulls colorway) are always popular, as fanatics find them to be more rare. The Air Jordan 9 is not only good looking, but definitely has some technology behind it, which includes a dynamic – fit inner bootie, a “one pull” lacing system, large volume air- sole unite in the heel, an encapsulated air- sole unit in the forefoot, and a polyurethane midsole.
