Air Jordan 9: The Story of Michael Jordan's Retirement Shoe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2022
- The Air Jordan 9 is an interesting sneaker in the line of Air Jordans that released while MJ was still building his legacy. For starters, he actually never wore the shoe until his final years in the NBA while playing for the Washington Wizards. The shoe has an interesting story and some unique design details that we've never seen on other Jordans. In this video, we breakdown the history and design of the Air Jordan 9.

Your “History of…” videos across the board are some of the best sneaker content going on UA-cam. Keep up the good work. Appreciate the effort.
Thank you man. Means the world to hear you say that
@@NachoAverageFinds you’ve earned it. You guys and Chris at Weartesters are the only dudes giving the people history behind the models. Can’t forget your roots.
Seriously bro it’s pure gold
@@Mack_Worlds_Media Thanks Julian
This whole series is so great! Olive 9’s are 100% the best colorway too, we need a retro ASAP!
Thank you Scott! And I agree man, time for an Olive retro.
@@NachoAverageFinds ua-cam.com/play/PLBfbaQ1cxXTFo1tctaR4JCruiP0P2RnM-.html
Olive's are 🔥
@@NachoAverageFinds do Nike Alphafly or Vaporfly shoes
Idk what ppl see in the olives 9s it’s def not the best colorway imo I’ll say space jam or barons
Love the 9s one of the most comfortable and underrated sneakers in General .
I've never owned a pair but I want to after hearing you ssay they're comfy
Muundaji means maker in swahili
Always a treat when a nachoaveragefinds video is uploaded😄
Thank youi Alex!
Snkrs or Nike should feature you guys on their websites or apps cuz your history vids are sooo good
That would be epic right lol they don’t care
They're extremely comfortable and I remember being in elementary when they came out... people still bought em! They go so well with tuxedos IMO
They are classy in that way
The Air Jordan 9 is probably the only one of the original 14 I have never seen anyone wear. I personally think the 9 and 7 are criminally underrated
7,8, and 9s are seriously underrated to wear.
Bryan! Glad to see you upload again. A minor critique for this video though, I don't think you need to edit out all the pauses in or between your sentences. It has the effect of making most of the video feel like a big, breathless, run-on sentence.
What's up dude, thanks so much for pointing that out. Yeah we were trying to keep it fast paced and keep up with the times here on UA-cam haha but noted!
I felt the same way. Your voice lends itself to making a chill, relaxing video. You cut out out a little too much empty space, making it sound a little sloppy and chaotic. Overall, I enjoyed the video and consider this series one of my favorite resources on UA-cam.
My favortie colorway of the 9s are the powder blue ones as they're a gem that needs to make a return again 🙏🟦⬜⬛
Those are one of the best from the OG colors for sure!
Coming today!
Man.. I just love some great storytelling on sneakers! I wear my black 9 lows to work ... colleagues wear new balances... I wear Js! .. saludos desde Michigan bato!
Gracias chingon!
@@NachoAverageFinds hey! failed to mentioned... I got my 9s black gum ready for the michigan winter! siganle hechando chingos de huevos!
Dude I just found your channel and love all your videos! Learned so much about the 9 from watching this
I’m mad I didn’t see this sooner 😅 I was waiting for this forever. My favorite Jordan. 9s deserves more love
I’m glad you were able to catch the video
A classic Jordan that honestly grew on me I was never a fab but some colourways from the killroy pack are my favourite in the silhouette. Great video as always
Yeah the Kilroy pack had some heaters
I watched everyone so far I been waiting on these like how o used to stand in line for my Jordan’s
Haha I appreciate that
Been waiting for a drop from Nacho!!!
Thanks for peeping the vids Donnie!
@@NachoAverageFinds keep going the videos are dope bro!!
I have 9’s on today so this jawn was right on time!😊
Yessir! Haha video hits different when you actually have the shoe on
Finally, finally AJ content!
Haha yeah people love Jordan
The 9s and 12s are my only fav jordans ever as they both helped make the jordan brand go global
That’s true!
Been waiting on this one to add to the playlist!
Another great vid… about to binge watch the whole playlist now.
Appreciate you Matt!
Holy shit I’m so happy to see this on my feed. Love these videos
Thank you!
Good stuff! I really enjoy your videos!!
Thanks for this awesome video bro
I have watched all ur History vids and I congratulate u . Great job!!!💪🏻
Thank you Rudy!!
I'm not a big fan of the 9s but this video made me appreciate them more thank you
Appreciaet it Adam!
Brothers, your content is the best.
Don't stop!!
The Bentley Ellis is my all time favorite 9, good vid
I love that whole pack honestly
Man I’m from spain and in here in senior year we have to do a really long research project. I’m using all your videos and this was the last model remaining, thanksss!!
Haha You’re welcome. I hope you get a good grade
I love the 9s when I was a kid the Johnny Kilroy thing got me ❤
I love the Cool Grey and the Olive Air Jordan IX. They definitely need to retro those soon
Rumor has it the Olives early next year 😄
@@NachoAverageFinds Olives for Holiday '24!
Always a pleasure to see notification that you've uploaded a new content for us to see and enjoy! I've yet to own a pair of 9's. I agree with you, it's very underrated. And that's probably because, as you pointed out, he never wore it when he was still playing for Chicago
He probably would've won a championship with them haha Thanks for keeping notifications on dude! I really appreciate you
@@NachoAverageFinds oh yeah, I believe that too, if he didn't go into retirement the first time around
Amazing content Again bro’s 👏👏👏👏, I love 9’s 👍
Thank you Richard!
excellent work 👏 foo you perform gracefully pronouncing those words from other languages 👏.
Palabra foo! Thank you
That would be dope to do a history of the Doernbecher. Look forward to seeing that in the future. 👏🍻
Thank you Joseph
Amazing vid!🔥😎
Thank you Nell!
These were the first Jays I ever bought. I bought them with my own money at age 18. They were the retros but I never forgot them and 9 is my favorite number. Fun facts
My holy grails are the olives I just got a pair. Truly an under appreciated silhouette, the comfort… design… and color ways always clean. Man you never disappoint!! We need more love for the aj9
Appreciate the kind words Daniel and congrats on the Olives!
I had these as a kid and I'm still feening to get a pair of the Racer Blue ones bad.
I hope they retro them for you soon brodie
Very dope video💪🏾
Appreciate it
I won something?😳
Those old commercials took me back. I love the Jordan 9
I love the 9s im wearing the Particle Greys right now
Let's go!
Love your videos
Thank you Sebastian
@@NachoAverageFinds can you make a video about union la
Great video as always 👍
My favourite Jordan 9 is the Kobe PE
AMAZING vid
Thanks Mate!
Underrated model I would definitely be down for an olive or cool grey retro
Give me both all day
awesome video
Thank you Alejandro
I absolutely love the 9. Reminds me when I was a kid. Had the black n white pair. My uncle and Godbrother had the black charcoal. I loved the unc pair. And I had a chance to get the olive. How ever. It was 93/94. Back then we were all sleeping on that color. It ess like brown perception wise lol. So I passed on em. Definitely will cop any of these pairs. And they definitely need to make an olive winterized pair. Perfect color for it. The other winter 9s have been prey good I think
Like most of the Jordans of the era they become even more amazing once you compare them to what was out on the market at that time. I think was take for granted how year after year the designs created road maps that are still followed till today. These shoes clearly influenced another great shoe which was the Fila GH .
Yeah the Fila GH was heavily inspired by this shoe. Great observation and well said Owen!
One of my favorite Jordan's 🔥🔥🔥
It’s one that doesn’t get enough love!
@@NachoAverageFinds yess
Wow. Great to know. The 9s are probably my 2nd favorite model after the 4s.
That’s high up there. Respect!
On my birthday too! 9 for my birthmonth, favorite number, born in the late 90's (97), and 9 characters on my last name! Pretty interesting shoe even though MJ didn't really had any significant moments in them!
Keep these series up, I'm now starting to take after my mom's fashion sense for apparel now with shoes of all things, and as kid I would've groaned for shopping multiple apparel I wouldn't have the attention for! Would love to see more Tinker-related history videos (maybe your thoughts on the AJ 6 Rings, looks like the 11 and 13 had a baby, really digged the 13's outsole paw design!) a beginning graphic designer myself!
Happy Birthday Reinhard! I appreciate the kind words man.
@@NachoAverageFindsGetting ready to get the Powder Blue 9s today!
thank you
Thank you bro
Definitely a good Jordan model, but the 9 just doesn't look as good as the other models that came before it and after it. It also didn't help that MJ didn't even ball in it when it first released. The details on the outsole were really cool! I had no idea what any of it meant until you explained it! Great history video as always!
Agreed. Thank you Dylan! Appreciate you stopping by
Great shoe to hoop 🏀 in
He balled in them in when he was playing with the wizards cool grey 9s
Thanks for another great video Bryan! How’s your foot?
Slowly getting better bro! Thanks for asking
My favorite retro of all time
I had the Kilroy’s when I was about 6 or 7 and right now I have the university gold 9
Damn the Kilroys Fire
Very comfy !
I've had several colors.
My favorite : white low tops 💥I had em back in 2002
2nd favorite: black &;grey : I had them 1st release.
This video brought back memories, thanks ✌🏾
Thank you Ray. Glad to bring back some memories my friend :-)
Had greys in 2004 loved them would get a pair again looking for the right color way
I have a pair of the 9 racer blues. Nice looking shoe. Especially when it reflects in the light.
INCREIBLE..No sabiá esa parte de Querétaro, Yo soy y estoy en este Estado. Creo que los voy a tener que buscar a un buen precio.,Gracias Nacho
Gracias Luis!
I got the Air Jordan 9 Anthracite.
I use them as Beaters. They perfect for that.
They almost made like a boot in a way.
I would suggest them if You need a shoe that will still be a “Air Jordan” but is more All-Purpose made for any type of circumstance. Great Sneaker.
I wouldn’t mind a pair of those
Had to go try on a 9, retro Fire Red, i must say it is very comfortable and a clean shoe might start wearing it.
Nike ATMs over your right shoulder, I see you!
🫡🫡🫡
As dj khaled would say anotha one. Great video once again thanks.
Appreciate you Golden Baby Jesus!
Hey man, I think I speak for everyone here, but you're very missed ♥️ I love the video! now I gained and appreciation for the Jordan 9. Thank you so much for all the work you've done this far
Thank you Brian. Thanks very kind of you brodie! Thanks for supporting us on Patreon
I wish they'd bring back those Birmingham baron 9s.
I love those!
My fav
You got great taste man
Another great video guys ! Always amazing work. My first pair of 9s were the charcoal 9s back in high school, I traded a first generation Xbox for them at the time lmao
Damn! Haha taking it way back with the OG Xbox 😂😂 Nostalgia
Can’t tell who won the trade I feel like it was both 😂
@@moralesxavier777 it was a first generation Xbox box 360 lol white color forgot to add that
@@GizmoKiDd damn bro it is a big loss but same goes for the other guy the charcoal 9s price is up to $500+ 😬 those were also the first 9s I put on my feet miss them so much
My second favorite 9 coloway outside of the cool greys
My favorite model 💯
I'd love a Dornbaecher vid!!
Just imagine, folks rocked Balenciagas, Yeezy Foam Runners, all YEEZY's, for that matter, along with some of history's weirdest designs and the 9's are being downplayed???!!
C'mon man. Folks are tripping!! The O.G black and white colorway has always been 🔥🔥🔥
Charcoals are the best 9 imo. But honestly, the 9 needs a remaster pretty badly before I will buy it again.
I think they’re going to do it soon
The facts, Sir…only the facts!
One of my one’s
Dope history vid 💯 I wish Nike and Jordan would bring back the og colorways of the Air Jordan 9 🤞
Thank you Max! I still have your shorts btw...
I definitely want that OG White and Varsity Red!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really enjoyed this video for one of my favorite air Jordan sneakers of all time. I appreciate your big effort.
Actually, the letter, ”世界スポーツ“ ,on its outsole is written in Kanji and “Katakana”
Thanks for clarifying my friend. Thank you!
*Super Underrated* powder blues and charcoal was and still is some of the best jordans to ever come out. I want the powder blue 9s but for $650, not going to happen loo. Great video though bro!
650 is wayyy too much haha just wait for the retro. It’s inevitable
@@NachoAverageFinds yeah that the thing, they came out in 93 and got released again 2010, so it could be another 3 to 5 years before they drop again smh but 2023 marks the 30 anniversary for the 9 so we should be good
Powder Blues are rumored to be released next year in 2024, so might want to keep tabs on that!
🔥🔥🔥
I have the new pair of the Jordan 9 powder blues on the way by ups should be here in the next few days can't wait !!! Also just got the reimagined 4s
Their sick Iam so blessed to have a pair plus the J4 reimagines🎉🎉🎉🎉
Still waiting on that olive 9 retro
Coming soon!!
🔥
Just noticed Chris Broussard at the 0:57 mark
please make a video about penny shoes.
Let's gooo
Les get ittt
Hey nice vid keep up the good work. I think the shoe says „anmutig“ not „mutig“. „Anmutig“ means something like beautiful or charming. Greetings from Germany
I appreciate that man. Shoutout to all the sneakerheads in Germany!
Under appreciated and a Fucking Painful shoe! Wish they would modify the insides of the J9 so it wouldn't be so painful to walk in them.
I’ve never owned a pair but I could see that with the rigid midsole
can you do one of the dub zeros. thats when the jordan brand went from old to new era
Definitely considering it
@@NachoAverageFinds really appreciate your videos 📹 keep it up
It's basically a baseball cleats, these things are work trying to ball in
Yeah you know what, they do look more like baseball cleats than basketball shoes now that you mention it
Fuerza means strength as well.
I always thought that the Jordan 9 was a Nike version of the grant hill 2 but I guess I have that the other way around.😅
Haha I could see why you’d think that
That’s Chris Broussard at 0:57 mark…. He’s been covering sports for a long time.
Yeah man he’s a legend in the game! Appreciate you taking the time to peep the videos Trisjen
Any body else binge watch 1-14???
Thank you for doing that player
@@NachoAverageFinds Thank you for fire 🔥 ass content
The statue is in side the stadium u can look at a vid of the studio
Statue
Yes that is true
BIN 9s!! Flames
Fire 🔥
Retro navy blue white size 7
Do a video on Jordan that wasn’t retros but got wore like dub zero spiz Ike 60+
Cool gray 11s was easy to cop?
Seems like everyone who wanted one got one
Tell me why the Jumpman on the outside of the shoe down on the sole as its foot turned outward instead of inward??
I woke up thinking my sneakers were fake one morning.
