Air Jordan 9 Debuts Pinnacle Baseball Glove Black in 2017

The original Air Jordan 9 was released in November 1993, roughly one month after MJ announced his retirement from basketball. The retail price in the US was $125. The first Air Jordan 9 retro release took place in 2002 and included the first low-top version of the AJ 9. Additional retro releases followed every two years beginning in 2008, then annually starting in 2015 though the present day. In 2016, Nike released the Air Jordan 9 OG, which included the Space Jam model that celebrated the movie's 20th anniversary. Nike continues to announce more retro releases for the future.

History of Air Jordan 9

In 1993, the Air Jordan 9 hit the court for the first time, though Michael Jordan never scored a single point with the Chicago Bulls wearing the shoe. When Jordan surprised the world with news of his retirement on October 6, 1993, the AJ 9 was already in production. Nike had no choice but to move forward with the release even though the most famous feet in basketball had seemingly left the court forever.

Jordan 9 Retro Pinnacle Baseball Glove Black 2017

To celebrate Michael Jordan's short stint in minor league baseball, the Jordan brand released the Pinnacle Baseball Glove Black colorway onto the Air Jordan 9 in 2017. Its black leather upper features side panels with cross-stitching similar to that of a baseball glove. The number 45 is stitched on the heel in white, and a Jordan Globe logo also stamps the heel. White douses the inner sock liner and dips the outer sole. A black Jordan Jumpman logo is stamped onto the bottom tread at the heel. The rest of the outsole is white and features the traditional AJ9 sketch tread. This baseball-inspired colorway found its way to store shelves across the nation on July 15, 2005.
