While our recent focus has been on 2025 Jordan Release Dates, we can’t forget about the stacked slate we’ll be running into down the stretch in 2024. Alongside similarly revered shoes like the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” and Jordan 3 “Black Cement,” the Air Jordan 9 “Olive” will be returning this Holiday season. Now, we’re getting our first great look at what to expect this November.
The combination of black perforated leather, olive suede and slight “Varsity Red” accenting throughout remains here. Importantly, the classic look hasn’t hit the market since 2012 in true fashion. A just-adjacent colorway landed in 2023 but instead sported “Dark Concord” to leave them out of this pair’s true canon. All told, the replication of the original layout and the long layoff between retro efforts is sure to jack up the heat & anticipation around this pair, adding to a Holiday season that’s already looking expensive for Jordan enthusiasts.
Though perhaps an underrated model compared to the rest of Mike’s signature line, the Air Jordan 9 nonetheless has a pretty deep stable of well-regarded colorways. Following up the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” and preceding next year’s Jordan 9 “Cool Grey” drop, this “Olive” edition will tick off a run of OG colorways returning to shelves.
The Air Jordan 9 “Olive” lands on November 16th retailing for $210. Get a closer look at this winter’s pair via the official retailer images ahead.
