The Air Jordan 9 was released in 1994 and was the first Jordan Brand sneaker to not be worn on the court on the feet of the man himself. The Jordan 9 retailed for $125 and was designed by Tinker Hatfield. This shoe was supposed to resemble how Jordan Brand had Global recognition. That being said they featured texts in various languages including Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, French, and Swahili that translated to words inspired by Michael like “Dedicated”, “Intense”, and “Sport”. Topping off the theme, the heel’s Jumpman logo featured a globe behind it.
