Air Jordan 9 Retro: the global Jordan, from 1993 to Space Jam

1993: the Air Jordan 9 and MJ's first retirement

Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 9 for the 1993-94 season. But on 6 October 1993, Michael Jordan announced his first retirement, before the model had even been released. That makes the 9 the only one of the early Air Jordans that MJ never wore in an NBA game. It still made its mark: Nike adapted it into baseball cleats for Jordan's spell in baseball, and other NBA players took to the court in exclusive versions. Today it is seen as one of the most refined Jordans of the 90s.

Design and tech: a Jordan made for the world

Hatfield conceived the Jordan 9 as a tribute to Michael Jordan's global reach. The outsole carries words in Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, French and Swahili, each reflecting a value associated with the player. Speed lacing with special eyelets gives a precise fit in one pull, an inner bootie wraps the foot and Air cushioning sits in the midsole. Clean lines, a high-top cut and smooth leather or nubuck give the Jordan 9 a quieter, almost elegant look compared to its predecessors.

Air Jordan 9 colourways: from Powder Blue to Space Jam

The Jordan 9 originally came in black and white, Powder Blue, Olive and Charcoal. Our collection currently puts the spotlight on the Air Jordan 9 Retro "Space Jam", named after the 1996 film. It pairs a white leather upper with black overlays that run from the toe along the sides to the heel, finished with red accents. Another Air Jordan 9 Retro completes the selection, so you can add a second pair to your rotation.

How to wear Air Jordan 9 trainers every day

Slimmer than the Jordan 7 and 8, the Air Jordan 9 slips easily into an everyday wardrobe. The Space Jam, with its white, black and red contrast, works perfectly with dark raw denim, straight black trousers or khaki cargos. For a sportier look, pair it with joggers and a plain hoodie. The white upper brightens a dark outfit, while the black overlays add structure to lighter looks. Slightly cropped trousers show off the high-top collar and the lacing details.
