Air Jordan 9 Retro "Statue"
Jordan Brand pays homage to ‘The Spirit.’
Back in November 1 of 1994, the Chicago Bulls paid homage to Michael Jordan following his first retirement from the game by unveiling a statue of His Airness — dubbed The Spirit — outside of the United Center, where it stands to this day. Taking cues from the design, Jordan Brand has crafted a corresponding “Statue” edition of the Air Jordan 9 — the first Jordan signature to release during his time away from the hardwood and the same kicks laced up by the statue. Sporting a white leather upper and black accents, the kicks are marked by a bronze-esque “Militia Green” hue that decorates the likes of the lining, eyelets and speckled midsole. Capped off with celebratory November 1, 1994-embroidered hang tags, the “Statue” edition of the Air Jordan 9 drops at Livestock on August 22 in limited quantities for $190 USD.
