Another sneaker silhouette inspired from the 90s movie "Space Jam", the Air Jordan Retro 9 "Space Jam" color way. Now this shoe has the same name as the "Space Jam" 11s, but they have two completely different design and color ways on each shoe. This shoe was rumored to be Michael Jordan's baseball show for when he had reported retired from the game of basketball to fulfill his promise to his father of playing professional baseball. Their are many stories behind this numbered Jordan, like the reason Michael Jordan all of a sudden quit playing basketball for a year to play baseball, but then came right back to the NBA. Nevertheless this is one of the most comfortable and "hoopable" Jordan's in recent years.
As I said before in one of my other blog posts about Nike bringing back "OG" sneakers, the material from the 90s to now isn't the same. Nor does it last as long. Nike took their time with this shoe and made it as close to the original release as possible. Their are still some minor details that are different, but a first glance you wouldn't be able to tell. But for a popular shoe of the 90s to re-release for just $190 is a steal in my eyes. Bottom of the shoe gets fairly dusty quickly due to the rubbery material, but its nothing some shoe cleaner can't deal with.
