Jordan Brand kicked off last summer with a re-release of the Air Jordan 9 White\/Black-University Blue and released a similarly colored Air Jordan 9 towards the end of summer 2010. In detail, this particular Air Jordan 9 was released in unison with the World Basketball Festival as part of the Air Jordan “For the Love of the Game” Pack. Unlike the aforementioned Air Jordan 9 White\/Black-University Blue, this shoe was extremely limited and only showed up at select retailers nationwide. White patent leather pairs with a University Blue midfoot to form an almost reverse color scheme to that seen on the Air Jordan 9 White\/Black-University Blue. <\/p>\n
