First designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Jordan 9 debuted in 1993 as the first Air Jordan released during Michael Jordan's retirement from the NBA — making it the only signature shoe in the original run never worn by MJ in a Bulls uniform. Hatfield built the design around Jordan's global icon status, embedding multilingual text on the outsole to represent his worldwide reach. The University Blue colorway draws its inspiration from the Orlando Magic player-exclusive era of the shoe, referencing the PE versions worn by players like Penny Hardaway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper pairs perforated white leather with black speckled overlays and rope laces through molded plastic eyelets — a hallmark of the AJ9's one-pull lacing system. University Blue appears selectively throughout: on the Jumpman logos at the lateral midsole and heel, the Air Jordan tongue tab, and the embroidered \"23\" at the heel counter. The Jumpman embossed on the outsole repeats the accent, tying the colorway together with a restrained, OG-inspired palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the foot, the Jordan 9's construction features encapsulated Air cushioning in both the heel and forefoot, paired with a polyurethane midsole — a functional platform that proved equally at home on-court and in streetwear rotation. The 2020 retro honored the silhouette's original blocking while delivering one of the more PE-adjacent colorways in recent Jordan Brand history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle Code: CT8019-140\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColorway: White \/ University Blue \/ Black \/ Particle Grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Year: 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilhouette: Air Jordan 9 Retro (High)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper: Perforated white leather with black overlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLacing: One-pull rope lace system with molded plastic eyelets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCushioning: Encapsulated Air-Sole units in heel and forefoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotable Details: University Blue Jumpman on midsole, heel, and tongue tab; embroidered \"23\" at heel; multilingual outsole text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jordan","offers":[{"title":"12M\/13.5W - Pre-Owned \/ Greenwood","offer_id":50810162446401,"sku":"CT8019-140","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1428\/5486\/files\/886fe408-d0dc-475d-aadc-8e908aa59c5d.jpg?v=1792957816","url":"https:\/\/grailsinc.shop\/products\/pre-owned-jordan-9-retro-university-blue-1792957811249","provider":"Grails Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
