More about the Air Jordan 9 "Powder Blue" shoes

The AJ 9 has become one of the most widely recognized designs in the Jordan Brand heritage. It was the initial footwear launched following Michael Jordan's departure from the NBA in 1993, and the model had a global design that brought out its global reach. The shoe also included a one-of-a-kind sole that displayed numerous words and symbols in many languages, including "peace," "sport," and "freedom."

With the AJ 9 "Powder Blue" reaching its 30-year mark in 2024, it only makes sense that the company honors with a throwback edition of the legendary Air Jordan 9 "Powder Blue."

The "Powder Blue" Air Jordan 9 shade is one of the most popular shoes, which debuted in 1993 and was re-issued in 2010. The latest version of this AJ 9 Retro is believed to be closest in appearance to the original.

Summit white, black, and dark powder blue are used to decorate the upper of the shoe. It is constructed with a white leather top featuring black and dark powder blue accents. However, it is unknown whether the back part of the heels will have the number "23" sewn on them. If Jordan Brand intends the 2024 retro to remain loyal to its 1994 counterpart, it should have less than 23 members.
