All about the classic Air Jordan 9 "Powder Blue"

The "Powder Blue" colorway features a white leather upper with accents of powder blue on the midsole, outsole, and inner lining. The shoe also includes a black and gray accent and a red Jumpman logo on the tongue.

Although the Air Jordan 9 was designed by Tinker Hatfield, Michael Jordan had already retired from basketball when the shoe was released. Instead, the design was inspired by Jordan's love of global travel and the international appeal of basketball.

The sneaker model also features several unique design elements, including a woven Jumpman logo on the tongue and a "rising sun" pattern on the sole. The Air Jordan 9 "Powder Blue" was re-released in 2002 and 2010, with each release garnering significant attention from sneakerheads and Jordan fans alike.

The shoe is still a favorite among basketball players and collectors, and many people consider it to be one of the most recognizable Air Jordans ever made. Now, sneakerheads must wait a full year to purchase the model.
