The Fan-Favorite Air Jordan 9 Retro “Olive” is Back

Take a trip down memory lane – the iconic Air Jordan 9 “Olive” is making its long-awaited return later this month. After debuting in 1993, this fan-favorite colorway made waves as one of the boldest Air Jordan designs at the time, combining rugged elegance with serious street style. Now, over a decade since its last rerelease in 2012, the Air Jordan 9 Retro “Olive” is back and better than ever.

The “Olive” Air Jordan 9 was unlike anything the Air Jordan line had seen before in 1993. While many Air Jordan releases leaned into vibrant hues, the “Olive” colorway took a more understated approach. The shoe’s black leather upper exudes classic style, while “Light Olive” suede overlays add an earthy tone that gives the sneaker a rugged, outdoor vibe. The subtle pops of color on the midsole and eyelets enhance the look, adding a bit of contrast to the overall aesthetic without overpowering it.

If you’re a smaller-footed individual, you’ll be glad to hear that this release of the Air Jordan 9 Retro “Olive” will be available in full-family sizing. This allows seasoned Jordan aficionados to relive their youth while simultaneously introducing the younger generation to a classic piece of Air Jordan history.

Need a pair? The Air Jordan 9 “Olive” will be available on Saturday, November 9th, in-store and online at DTLR.com. Don’t miss out!
