The Air Jordan 9 “Dark Charcoal”

The Air Jordan 9 will forever hold a place in Air Jordan history for reasons other than on-court heroics. It was the first Air Jordan sneaker to release during MJ’s shocking retirement in the mid-1990s, and for that reason, it’s the first of the Tinker Hatfield era that was never worn by Michael Jordan in an NBA game – as a Chicago Bull (he wore the Cool Grey 9s while a member for the Washington Wizards). Still, the AJ9 has as much esteem as its predecessor and successor, and to this day the ninth model is regarded as one of the finer designs of Tinker’s impeccable run.
