Designed with older kids in mind, the Air Jordan 9 Retro GS 'Dark Charcoal University Gold' showcases a more understated color scheme that was introduced during Michael Jordan's brief hiatus from basketball. The upper, made from high-quality nubuck material, is predominantly black and charcoal, while the interior boasts a comfortable bootie construction and a convenient speed lacing system. To add a pop of contrast, the collar lining and heel are adorned with hits of vibrant University Gold, complete with a webbing pull tab and a skillfully embroidered number 23. The PU midsole, in the same striking gold hue, proudly displays a matching Jumpman logo and houses a responsive Air unit in the heel, ensuring optimal cushioning and support during every step.
