Air Jordan Retro 9 - Black/Photo Blue - Black Sole Error

Air Jordan Retro IX 9 Black/Photo Blue - Black Sole Error (1)

words // Brandon Richard

When the "Photo Blue" Air Jordan Retro 9 first went into production, the factory churned out a massive amount of pairs with an incorrect outsole. The final product set to hit retail in November rides atop a white rubber outsole, while the initial batch produced was bottomed off in black. Jordan Brand officials managed to resolve the issue mid-production, but were still left with thousands of these "error" pairs. What to do with them? Nobody really knows at the moment, but a few pairs have managed to trickle out.

Which of the two "Photo Blue" Air Jordan 9s do you prefer? White or black sole? Cast your vote in the poll below.

If you're a fan of the black sole, ronimo1989 is selling a pair on eBay.

Accidentally put into production prior to last year's release of the 'Photo Blue' Air Jordan 9 Retro, the Jordan Brand will now be releasing the 'Black Bottom' pairs we were never supposed to see.

Its fucking hilarious when i see resellers say "dont lowball me on my jays". And im like what do you consider low balling, under retail price as to what you paid? or what you think there worth price set by YOU?!?! lol resellers kill me as they dont want to be low balled, well i dont want to be high balled!

Nice, was this picture taken by a NIKE Associate, cause it sure does look like it.
They should sell it as Sample Shoes or Limited Edition.
