Trudge through the winter conditions experienced in places like NYC, and you’ll see that most have put their retro kicks in the closet for a pair of Timbs or some other winter boot. But why not wear your Air Jordans in the snow if you can? Jordan Brand made sure that you’ll be able to rep MJ in the colder months with the Air Jordan 9 Retro Boot, a winterized version of Michael’s 9th signature sneaker. Next up for the boot is a Black Iridescent colorway.
Air Jordan 9 Retro Boot Black Iridescent Details
Many of the Air Jordan 9 Boot colorways feature dark color palettes, like the Black Gum, Black Concord, and Olive, but this pair stands out amongst the other black-based colorways. At first glance, it’s just a black-and-white colorway on the sneaker, but when hit with flash, a 3M reflective iridescent coating shines through on the leather portions of the upper. Hairy suede panels line the edge of the upper for added protection in the harsh winter months, while hiking-inspired D-ring eyelets are added to the lacing system.
Moving back to the heel, the Jumpman globe logo and embroidered “23” are done in a clean, stark white shade that pops off the anthracite grey suede that surrounds it. This same white color is used on the leather tongue patch, which hosts black “Air Jordan” text. Final details include the anthracite rubber midsole with a white Jumpman near the heel and the beefed-up rubber outsole for added traction.
