Nike is gearing up for the highly anticipated Air Jordan 9 retro release in March. Ahead of that, sneaker enthusiasts and Michael Jordan‘s fans have been given an early treat with the recent drop of the first Air Jordan 9 of the year. The brand seems to have decided to make the return of these iconic designs more powerful with the golf shoes.
Making a return to the market, the Air Jordan 9 Golf edition will feature its original White, Black, and True Red colorway. Staying true to American designer Tinker Hatfield’s original version of the Air Jordan 9 from 1993 to 1994, these sneakers bring a sense of nostalgia more than ever. And, perhaps, there is no better way to start than the release of the Air Jordan 9 Golf.

Priced at $230, these shoes are scheduled for release on February 23, 2024. The sneakers will be different from the retro version that was released almost a decade earlier in 2016. Rather, as mentioned, the designs will lean more toward Hatfield’s creation, as per sneakernews.com.
47-year-old American golfer Pat Perez, who has a massive collection of Jordan sneakers, debuted the Air Jordan 9 ‘True Red’ in a recent competition. The Air Jordan 9 holds a special place in the hearts of sneaker enthusiasts. It debuted in 1994. As the ninth installment version in Jordan’s iconic Air Jordan signature sneaker line, it has become a timeless symbol of athletic prowess and style.
