At the beginning of this year, we stated that 2010 would be a big and important year for Jordan Brand. The Air Jordan Silver Anniversary Lineup, the Air Jordan Bin 23 Collection and the Air Jordan 6 and 9 Retros are undoubtedly in heavy rotation. With that said, we couldn’t pick a better time to stand by that statement considering the limitless amount of Air Jordan 9 Retro colorways we have seen so far. Although the Air Jordan 9 “Silver Anniversary” released in March, the real Air Jordan 9 avalanche starts this weekend with the white\/black-university pair.<\/p>\n

Therefore, our Snkrs Day staff dug into this year’s archive and gathered all of the information regarding the Air Jordan 9 colorways that are set to release this year. Having trouble deciding which Air Jordan 9 (s) you’re going to snag this year? Dont worry. Check out our, We have 90 IX Problems but a Pick Ain’t One<\/strong> feature which includes all of the Air Jordan 9s we have heard about this year…with a little twist of Jay-Z’s Black Album material!<\/p>\n

**Note**<\/strong>See which songs off of the Black Album represent each Air Jordan 9 incorporated into our feature.<\/p>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> March 27th, 2010<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “Dirt Off Your Shoulders” – All-white sneakers tend to get dirty easier than other kicks, therefore, if you happen to get these dirty you’re feeling like a pimp<\/span>, you have to gon’ brush your sneakers off.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 9 White\/Black-University Blue<\/h3>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> May 29th, 2010<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “Moment of Clarity” – We must clarify that this soon-to-be-released Air Jordan 9 does NOT feature the same exact features of the legendary “Powder Blue” Air Jordan 9. This particular shade is university blue and features a lighter hue than the 1993-released “Powder Blue” Air Jordan 9. Still, this will be one of the realest Air Jordan 9s out…way beyond a reasonable doubt.<\/em>

Release Date:<\/strong> June 5th, 2010<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “99 Problems” – You will have 99 problems and then some if you’re trying to obtain this sneaker during the first weekend in June. Jordan Brand will only release 1,331 pairs at select retailers worldwide. Therefore, you have 99 problems and this shoe serves for each and every one. <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 9 “Citrus”<\/h3>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> July 3rd, 2010<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “December 4th” – It’s more like July 4th for the sneaker community. This sneaker is set to blow just one day before Independence Day, so who will be popping firecrackers in these? We must applaud Jordan Brand for putting such an explosive release next to Independence Day. “If we can’t respect that our whole perspective is whack.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 9 White\/Black-True Red<\/h3>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> August 7th, 2010<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “What More Can I Say” – It’s more like, what more can we do with this sneaker? This will be the third time Jordan Brand releases this sneaker in 8 years. If you recall, it returned for the first time in 2002 and recently released in 2008 as part of the Air Jordan 9\/14 Countdown Pack. “Are you not entertained?” No, Jordan Brand…we’re not.<\/em><\/p>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> N\/A (Scheduled to Release Later this Year)<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “Allure” – Although this Air Jordan 9 features a simple, predominately white base, we were allured by its complimentary attributes. Elements such as the vibrant citrus and deep forest hints and the repeating ‘Jordan’ print on the laces. While this may not be the best Air Jordan 9 on this list, it is sure one of the most eye-appealing. It is safe to say this sneaker is a light bulb with ‘eleventy million volts.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “Change Clothes” – Instead of clothes, let’s just say this sneaker changed schemes. At a first glance, this shoe undoubtedly reminds you of the aforementioned Air Jordan white\/black-university blue because it features the same colors. However, the colors are portrayed in a different scheme. In detail, university blue nubuck smothers the entire midfoot and a patent leather strip sits above the white sole. Whether this shoe is ‘so necessary’ or not, can we still label it as ‘sexy, sexy’?<\/em><\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “Justify My Thug” – With Jay-Z influencing us that ‘all-black-everything’ is the way to go these days, this particular Air Jordan 9 will be the closest thing your going to get in hopes of completing your blacked-out attire. Despite the minimal true red and dark charcoal accents seen throughout the upper, can this shoe help justify your thug? <\/em>
\n<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey”, Air Jordan “French Blue” & the Air Jordan 9 “Olive”<\/h3>\n
Clockwise: Air Jordan 9 "Cool Grey", Air Jordan 9 "French Blue", Air Jordan 9 "Olive"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Release Date:<\/strong> N\/A (a possibility, but no word has released)<\/p>\n

Black Album Terminology:<\/strong> “Encore” – Who will join us in giving Jordan Brand an encore, standing ovation, round of applause and any other kind of praise if they released just one of these during the holiday season? The “Olive”, “Cool Grey” and “French Blue” Air Jordan 9s haven’t released since 2002, so we should be due at least one of these, right? Jordan Brand, “what the hell are you waiting for….after this we won’t ask for anymore.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
