Snkrs Day presents a new column, Everything You Need to Know<\/em>, profiling the biggest releases prior to drop date. Get the basics on the shoe’s original launch, historical importance, and where you can get them. Without further ado, the Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Release History<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey” 2002\n

The Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey”<\/strong> released for the first time on October 25, 2002. Preceded by re-releases of the original White\/Black-Red, “Olive”, and also-new “French Blue” colorway, this shoe marked the last midtop launch of the AJ9 in ’02.<\/p>\n

Due in part to a lack of retro popularity and a down economy, the “Cool Grey” 9s were not a sellout the first time around, though not despised. The “Cool Grey” colorway served as a follow up to the smash hit AJ11s that debuted the previous year.<\/p>\n

While Michael Jordan never laced up the original Air Jordan 9 for NBA wear due to retirement, he did play in the retros. The “Cool Grey” 9s joined the AJ11s of the same theme, “French Blue” 7s, and “True Blue” 3s as part of Jordan’s re-release rotation in Washington.<\/p>\n

From a pop culture standpoint in 2002, Air Force 1s were still dominating the feet of those that favored athletic aesthetic. This time around, the colorway has been making its rounds on the likes of Stalley, Teyana Taylor, and many more. The re-retros were also worn on court by Rajon Rondo.<\/p>\n Rajon Rondo in the Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey” 2012\n
