Originally released in November 1993, the Air Jordan IX
model was the first Air Jordan model release after his
retirement and Jordan never played a whole season of
basketball with this model. This model was created in the
form of baseball cleats that Jordan used when playing
minor-league baseball.
The white/black version of the Air Jordan IX model was
worn by Jordan for one scene in the 1996 movie Space Jam.
Like the Air Jordan VIIs and VIII model's, the Air Jordan
IX model featured an inner sock sleeve and nubuck accents.
The sole featured different symbols and languages of
different countries.
The Air Jordan IX has been the shoe chosen to adorn
Jordan's feet for his statue outside of the United Center
in Chicago, Illinois.
In Popular Culture, in the children's movie The Little
Rascals one of the bullies chasing Alf Alfa and Spanky is
wearing a pair of Air Jordan IX.
