Classic Commercial: Air Jordan IX and the Johnny Kilroy Story

October 5th 2012 | 68 comments

words // Zack Schlemmer

You are probably aware of the Johnny Kilroy Pack of the Air Jordan 9 Retro with colorways like the "Johnny Kilroy" that releases tomorrow, October 6th, along with upcoming colorways like the "Motorboat Jones" and  "Fontay Montana"...But do you know what the story behind the pack is?

For those that don't, here is the inspiration for the pack with the original two part commercial from Nike that released during Michael Jordan's first retirement during the 1994-95 NBA season.

MJ never wore the Air Jordan IX in an NBA game...or did he??

Steve picks up statue, soars over all statues for superman dunk; nods head in approval. Best moment.

Prolly 2 of the best Nike/Jordan commercials ever made to advertise my 2nd least fav Jordan produced. I loathe IXs.
