Bringing back the original 2002 release, the Air Jordan 9 Retro 'Cool Grey' exhibits a grey nubuck upper with a matching patent leather overlay. The Air Jordan tongue label and iconic '23' stamped on the heel maintain the signature look. These shoes have a white foam midsole with encapsulated Air-sole technology in the forefoot and heel. The grey rubber outsole has multilingual touches, a nod to Michael Jordan's influence as a global icon.
