The Air Jordan 9 Boot is back in "Olive," just in time for cold weather. The pair is available now on Nike.com for $230.
This is the first retro of the colorway since December 2017. The boot version first arrived back then for $225, so the price has gone up slightly.
Overall, the look is simple and rugged. Black leather covers most of the upper, and olive suede adds an earthy contrast. Red accents add a little energy. The colors come from the original Air Jordan 9 "Olive" from 1993. This version keeps that classic palette but changes the build for winter.
The construction reportedly borrows from a field boot rather than the basketball shoe. Metal D-rings replace the plastic lace loops, and the tongue is made to help keep water out. A water-resistant coating covers the leather and suede.
Underneath, an aggressive outsole gives extra grip in wet and cold conditions. It is a practical upgrade over the standard Air Jordan 9. The style code is AR4491-012. Look for pairs on Nike.com and at select Jordan Brand retailers. Some fans will see the earth tones and think of classic work boots.
Air Jordan 9 Boot “Olive”
Winter boots from Jordan Brand are always a fun release. The Air Jordan 9 Boot has become a fall staple since it first appeared in 2017.
This is also the second Air Jordan 9 Boot of the month. The "Iridescent" version was listed for October 12th at $240. That pair goes in a much flashier direction.
Compared to that pair, the "Olive" feels classic. It does not need extra tricks. The color story is simple, and the details do the talking.
Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 9 in 1993, while Michael Jordan was away from basketball. Decades later, it still has a loyal fan base. If you want these, move quickly. Boots like this tend to sell through when the weather turns. It is an easy choice for fans who want a pair that works in real winter conditions.
