The Air Jordan 9 was launched in 1993 shortly after the announcement of Jordan's retirement.

On October 6th 1993, Jordan gave the basketball world a shock when he announced his retirement from the NBA. It was only one day before training camp and it was not what anyone had expected nowadays. The greatest basketball player of all time retiring at the age of 30. A choice probably affected by the fact that his father was murdered in North Carolina in the summer of 1993 just before he won his third championship.
