Originally released in 1993 as the \"White \/ Black \/ True Red\" colorway — during one of the most turbulent and emotionally charged moments in MJ's career, arriving as Michael Jordan's shocking retirement after the 1992-93 championship season left the basketball world without its greatest player — the AJ9 was the shoe that released when Jordan stopped playing. It never saw on-court action during his Bulls tenure. Instead, it earned its most iconic appearance on film: the opening frames of Space Jam, where the gym doors swing open and MJ warms up with Bugs and the Tune Squad, these exact shoes on his feet, as Seal's cover of \"Fly Like an Eagle\" plays — a long shot burned into the memory of every '90s kid who watched the film. Thirty years later, that scene lands exactly the same way. So does this shoe.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe 2026 build is described as the most OG-faithful execution of this colorway since the original 1993 pair — with an updated shape that better replicates the '93 silhouette's proportions, correcting the issues that drew criticism on prior retros. White leather panels form the primary surface of the upper, clean and premium against the black nubuck mudguard that wraps the toe box and lower side panels in a deep, matte sweep, arcing upward to the heel to frame the upper's white leather body. Perforations along the side panels carry the silhouette's signature breathability detail — a design element Tinker Hatfield embedded after being inspired by Michael Jordan's global stardom at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, channeling international influence into every zone of the design. True Red appears on the tongue branding, the Jumpman logo, heel accents, and the shoe's globe emblem — Hatfield's nod to MJ's worldwide reach — and the iconic \"23\" sits precisely at the heel, grounding the colorway in Bulls-era identity with just enough restraint to let the design breathe. The updated 1993-faithful shape is the detail collectors have tracked most closely heading into this drop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eCategory: \u003c\/b\u003eFootwear | Sneakers\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge Group: \u003c\/b\u003eKids\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGender: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGS | Big Kids\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Air Jordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jordan | Tinker Hatfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003eAir Jordan 9 Retro (GS)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNickname: \u003c\/b\u003e“30th Anniversary Space Jam \/ Playoffs”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColorway: \u003c\/b\u003eWhite \/ True Red - Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain Color:\u003c\/b\u003e White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e ??????-???\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e Aug 29, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason: \u003c\/b\u003eSpring | Summer | Fall | Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShaft Height:\u003c\/b\u003e Mid Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClosure: \u003c\/b\u003eLace Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity: \u003c\/b\u003eBasketball | Gym \u0026amp; Training | Walking | Casual\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Air Jordan","offers":[{"title":"3.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576410230,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576442998,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576475766,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576508534,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576541302,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576574070,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576606838,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 \/ [PRE-ORDER]","offer_id":43403576377462,"sku":null,"price":208.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5459\/3142\/files\/PRE-ORDER-GS-Air-Jordan-9-Retro-OG-30th-Anniversary-Space-Jam-Playoffs-2026-Sneakers-in-White-FOOT-NINJAS-1.png?v=1778818061","url":"https:\/\/footninjas.com\/products\/gs-air-jordan-9-retro-og-30th-anniversary-space-jam-playoffs-2026","provider":"FOOT NINJAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
