Michael Jordan took a step away from the NBA, so the Air Jordan 9 was not worn by the man Jordan on the courts. But to this day, the Air Jordan 9 in white/Blues is a collectors item. It is a bit simpler than other colorways in the Air Jordan 9(IX) line- up, featuring a white leather upper with blue midsole. In interesting feature is the stitching on the upper, which although is not a contrast stitching, still stands out a lot, as it seems to follow a patter. The bottom of shoe, ironically, is the most detailed and nicest part of shoe. According to Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 9 represented the globalization of th Air Jordan brand name, which would explain the use of other languages on the outsole. Add it to your wardrobe without hesitation.
