The Air Jordan 9 Shoes was released in 1993 shortly following the announcement of Jordan's retirement.On October 6th 1993, Jordan gave the basketball world a shock when he announced his retirement from the NBA. This was just one day before training camp and it was not what anyone had expected at this time. The greatest basketball player of all time retiring at the age of 30. A decision probably affected by the fact that his father was murdered in North Carolina in the summer of 1993 just before he won his third championship.The shoe being released was plain and sturdy and was the first model that Michael did not wear in an NBA seasonal game (due to the retirement). The sole had lots of details and a large 23 was stitched at the back of the shoe.The Air Jordan 9 has been the shoe chosen to adorn Jordan's feet for his statue outside of the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.In popular culture, in the children's movie The Little Rascals one of the bullies, Butch is wearing a pair of Air Jordan IX.American Rap Icon Tupac Shakur was also known to wear Air Jordan Shoes in a popular "Thug Life" photo set in 1993.

This bag is great; I do love it! I am a small woman so some bags when I fill them up with my stuff look huge but not this bag I loved the picture of the black one with the blues but I got orange and red in the strap but that wasn't enough to send it back! I only wish it had more organization inside but it does have one small zip pocket The side pockets are nice but if it had a zipper compartment in the front it would have been more perfect The strap is unique and it doesn't dig into your shoulder when you have a lot in the bag I would recommend this bag to everyone!

I am a Hair Stylist so I am on my feet 11 hours a day & the shoes are very comfortable but I ordered a half size bigger and they are still a little too small They also make my feet smell after wearing them all day at work So if you can stand that go ahead and and get them Overall totally worth it because now my feet don't ache every day!
