Brandon King

The “Hornets” Air Jordan 9 was created as an exclusive colorway for the man himself, Michael Jordan in 2019 when NBA All-Star Weekend was held in Charlotte.  They sport a white leather upper overlaid with that of a supple-looking purple leather rand that also extends up the heel and collar. Hornets teal can be seen on the “AIR JORDAN” branding on the tongue, the global Jumpman logo on the rear heel, pull tab, and laces.  Purple also shows up at the inner, with white making additional appearances at the “23”…

“Fire Red” Air Jordan 9: Official Images

Brandon King

Although the “Fire Red” Air Jordan 9 should be derided for not being the colorway we really want, the French Blue 9, I am finding a real difficult time generating the rancor for this sneaker. I think this sneaker is a cash grab that is meant to stoke the fires of anticipation for an eventual return of the French Blues, but despite all those things being true, it is a well-executed shoe. The white leather of the upper is overlaid with cool grey patent leather. Fire red is seen on…

“Fire Red” Air Jordan 9 coming 23 November

Brandon King

The “Fire Red” Air Jordan a is not a bad looking sneaker at all; I’ll even admit that I like it. However that does not change what this shoe is – a tease and a cash grab designed to generate additional hype and demand for the colour fans really want ie the “French Blue” Jordan 9. As can be seen this upcoming a sports a white leather upper overlaid with cool grey patent leather. Fire red snows up on all the branding as well as the lace loops and pull…

The ”Olive Concord” is a newish color of the Air Jordan 9 that is in the works to debut in 2023. Visually similar to the OG ”Olive” colorway, this upcoming release takes that aesthetic and tags in aqua and/or concord for the red in places like the tongue and branding on the rear heel and outsole.

Take a look at these latest images of the ”Fire Red” Air Jordan 9

Brandon King

In our initial article on the ”Fire Red” Air Jordan 9, we did get on Jordan Brand’s case, and rightfully so, but this is actually a good-looking shoe. I still remain on my stance both this release and the ”Olive Concord” 9 are little more than pre-hype building, for the colorways we really want, cash grabs. In the case of the ”Fire Red” , well-executed, but shameless cash grabs nonetheless. As you will see below, a set of new images came to light, and it shows the grey overlay is…

“Olive Concord” Air Jordan 9 coming January 7

Brandon King

The “Olive Concord” is the latest example of the Jordan Brand swerve where they release a shoe that hearkens to an original or well-received colourway but with with just enough differences to “necessitate” its existence. if the predictive visual representations are accurate the “Olive Concord” 9 takes the aesthetic of the OG “Olive” colorway ( black leather upper, olive nubuck rand and red branding) but replaces the red for concord. Regarless of how heavily the visuals may be borrowed , as it currently stands, the “Olive Concord” Air Jordan 9…

Cool Grey and Fire Red Air Jordan 9

Brandon King

As I intimated in our article on the “Olive Concord” , Jordan Brand is notorious for unnecessarily teasing with doorways tantilizingly close to sough after colourwayts that likely have not had a retail run in several years and are grossly overdue for one. Such is the the case with the Air Jordan 9 below. With its whitw leather upper overlaid with grey and fire red accenting , it is quite visually reminiscent of a shoe we here at sneakershotalk have been clamoring to return, 2002’s “French Blue” 9. The primary…
