The Jordan 9 Retro Olive (2024) marks the return of a beloved, off-court colorway that has steadily grown in popularity since its debut in 1993. First introduced during Michael Jordan’s first retirement from the NBA, the Jordan 9 captured his global influence with its sleek design, despite Jordan not wearing it on the basketball court. The Olive colorway, featuring a mix of black, true red, and light olive, was an experimental shift from the usual Bulls-inspired colors, and while it initially underperformed, it has since gained a cult following.
This 2024 release aims to stay true to the original design, with premium materials and a shape that captures the sneaker’s iconic status. The black upper is paired with olive overlays, creating a rugged yet stylish look that works both on and off the court. The true red accents on the branding add a pop of color to the otherwise understated palette, making this one of the most anticipated Jordan releases of the year.
Released on November 16, 2024, the Jordan 9 Retro Olive (2024) retailed for $210. With its rich history and bold color scheme, this sneaker is perfect for Jordan fans and sneaker enthusiasts looking to add a timeless piece to their collection.
