The Air Jordan 9 design, which was originally launched in 1993, coinciding with Michael Jordan's first retirement from basketball, is a celebration of the Air Jordan's global fame and reflects MJ's unique playing style through the use of multiple languages. The 'Imperial Purple' colorway, showcased here, is a girls exclusive iteration that features a combination of white and grey leather as its base, complemented by a noteworthy dark purple midsole, laces, and signature Jumpman branding. Additional distinctive elements include a prominent pull loop, a speed lacing system for ease of use, and an embroidered "23" on the lower heel.
