Since its introduction in 1994, the Air Jordan 9 has received an array of iterations, and this forthcoming pair holds another special value, as it’s essentially a tribute to Kobe Bryant?s historic 20-year career in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The basketball sneaker is simply draped in the team’s respective palette with white leather covering its upper, contrasting purple utilized for its patent leather overlays and throughout the rear, in addition to its collar section. Finally, bright yellow hits are evident on the branding across its tongue tab, mini Jumpman logos, as well as the number ?23? and circular globe badge on the heel to cap off its respective theme.

Retailing for $190, you can buy this standout pair at select Jordan Brand and Nike retailers on Saturday, November 19.

Not to be confused with the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Suede, here is a good close-up look of an Air Jordan 11 Wool. We let you guys know that a wool-constructed Air Jordan 11 was in the works, but we haven’t really gotten a good look at the shoe, until now.

This version of the Air Jordan 11 will come with a wool constructed upper, very similar to what we’ve seen from the AJ 3 Wool and AJ 12 Wool.  A Dark Grey and Black colorway takes care of the woolen upper, while a White midsole unit and translucent outsole finishes off the premium aesthetics of the shoe.

It is currently being rumored that this Air Jordan 11 Wool will be releasing during the holiday season for the retail price of $400. Be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 11 Wool hub page for all the latest details and images of this upcoming holiday Jordan Brand release.

Last offered in Bronze, the Air Jordan 5 is expected to return in 2017 with this new colorway of olive/tan.

Elevated with more lifestyle appeal, the basketball sneaker is revamped with a premium upper covered in dark olive green, while tan leather tongues further add luxe flair, as well as complementing its overall scheme perfectly. Other notable details include its traditional mesh netting on the sides panels refined in a more minimalist finish, as it’s topped off with waxed rope laces and icy translucent outsoles.

This approach of reinterpreting classic Jordans with premium materials continue to be appealing in my opinion. I’m not against this iteration. It looks pretty solid so far.

In the next few weeks we’ll be seeing a couple of different colorways of the Air Jordan 9 arrive at retailers. First we’ll see the Kobe Bryant PE colorway release a week from today, which will be followed up by this OG White/Black/True Red colorway in early December.

Earlier this week we were informed that Jordan Brand is now referring to this OG colorway of the Air Jordan 9 as the Space Jam colorway since Michael Jordan wore it in the actual movie 20 years ago. I’m not sure whether or not the new name is going to help its sales, or if anyone really cares, but we’re sure that fans of the silhouette are excited to see this colorway make a return.

Releasing on December 3rd for a retail price of $190, will you be scooping up this Air Jordan 9?

With Black Friday coming up in a couple of weeks I think this is a colorway that will get lost in the shuffle. But what do I know, I’m not a woman so I’m not sure how the ladies really feel about this pair.
