Joining the ranks of militaristic Air Jordan colorways like the 'Military' Air Jordan 4, 'Dark Army' 5 and 'Squadron Blue' 13, the 'Militia Green' 9 will make its debut this summer.

This upcoming release, expected in remastered quality, features an all-white leather upper, black tongue and inner bootie and a goldish-green along the inner lining, eyelets and speckled midsole.

While an official date hasn't been announced, the 'Militia' Air Jordan 9 is expected to drop in August.
