World Renown StyleThe Boys' Toddler Air Jordan 9 Retro is Michael Jordan's ninth signature model in sizing for babies. Originally released in 1993 and ‘94, the iconic Jordan 9 is quite notable because it was the first model released during Jordan's first retirement from the NBA after the 1992-93 season. It holds a special place in Air Jordan history as the only model that he never wore on court in an NBA game among his most celebrated models from the Chicago Bulls era (Air Jordans 1-14). The Jordan 9 was designed by Tinker Hatfield, the world-famous Nike designer that created many of the brand's most classic and innovative sneakers ever released. The design was inspired by Jordan's international fame, featuring a unique Jumpman globe logo on the heel, as well as messages in multiple languages referencing Jordan's career on the outsole. Forever Iconic Michael Jordan never laced up the Air Jordan 9 on court himself, but as it turns out, he didn't need to for it to still stand as one of the most popular Air Jordan retro designs of all time. The AJ9 has become a favorite sneaker off the court for Jordan collectors thanks to its clean look and great comfort.
