The Air Jordan IX will return in three colorways later this year. This is exciting news for some, but for me it means by beloved Charcoal IX’s are finally hitting the retro chopping block. Alright, maybe I’ve known it was inevitable, but still, I can hope right? Anyway, additional colors will include a new Citrus colorway that might be a little on the simple side for some, and the timeless white, black and red colorway.
The Air Jordan IX originally released in 1994, but due to Michael spending his time on the baseball field rather than on the basketball court, these shoes spent a long time on the shelves at stores near me. In fact, the reason the Charcoal colorway is significant to me is because it was my first pair of Air Jordans, and I picked them up for $70 off the clearance rack at my local mall spot. Still got them, still rock them. Although the Air units are shot and the bottoms are about as smooth as butter, alright maybe the Charcoal IX returning is long overdue. What do you think?

Well, Citruses and Charcoals kinda saved it for me.
BOOOOO we already got those other ones in the CDP, we need something new :/ something similar in simplicity to Citruses, those are beauty.

I understood that the Power IX were releasing next year??? Will cop the Charcoal.. It was the second AJ my mom offered me… My second pair!!!
The charlcoal and Citrus are nice, surprised the white/black is coming back so soom after the CDP release. Bring back the Cool Grey!!
how much are the ix’s releasing for?
can’t wait for all these to drop. the citrus’ are dope, the charcoals are a classic, and i’ve been wanting the white/red ones for awhile now but don’t really want the cdp ones, and the 02 retro’s are going for too much. lets just hope the quality is halfway decent on these new ones.
Fantastic!
The Charlcoal IX was my 2nd pair of Jordans.
I love them for their essentiality! They remember a moder 1th. The new Citrus is really great like other PE editions of this model!
I want to get them all except the White/black version because its too similar to the CDP One.
Good luck guys!
those arent charlcoals they are the olive 9s look at them closely i swear they are
YES! Hella confusing aint it? It do look like charcoals or olives. Since its a drawn pic, its kinda hard to elaborate what the real thing will be. We need real pic soon!
forgit they arent olvie lol they jst looked like it myb
Those black/cirtus ones will be copped STAT! Reminds me of the QRich/DMiles PE exclusives when they were with the Clippers.
IM COPPIN THE BLACK ONES..IDK ABOUT THE 3M MATERIAL ON THE 1ST ONES
gotta cop at least one of each, i think they couldve done without the blk/wht they just released these in those stupid countdown packs. but still nice to see em come back….
it woulda been dope to do a 9 based of gentry humphreys one of a kind black on white!!!!! one can dream..
Fav Jordans! Well these and the 5s

PLZZ RELEASE THE OLIVES OR THE COOL GREYS
All I know is when the citrus IX’s drop ppl better go hard or go home back to there residence cuz they are raw as hell
