The Air Jordan 9 Retro 'Cool Grey' was introduced in October 2002 as an updated version of the 1993 design. While retaining the classic AJ9 style, this colorway enhances the silhouette, giving it a fresh and trendy appeal. Crafted with a combination of leather, nubuck, and mesh, the shoe boasts a sleek and durable upper. A notable feature is the patent leather that extends to the heel, providing a touch of elegance and sophistication. To create a contrasting effect against the Cool Grey upper, the shoe is outfitted with white laces. Completing the overall aesthetic is a smokey translucent outsole, adding a modern and clean finish to the design.
