Air Jordan IX (9)
On October 6th 1993, Michael Jordan announced his decision to retire from the NBA, spelling potential doom for the signature shoe line. Little did they know Michael would continue to play basketball until 1999 when he announced his retirement again and actually hung up his Jersey for life.
The Jordan IX was a durable and plain shoe at first glance, but it came with lots of interesting details such as the large 23 stitched on the back of the shoe and the multi-lingual words on the soles of both shoes.
