The Air Jordan 9 University Blue is a new colorway featuring OG style colorblocking that invokes all the nostalgia from rewatching Space Jam again and again on the family VCR. Releasing on December 5, 2020, the Jordan 9 University Blue also features glitter embedded into the black rand that snakes down the heel and along both sides of the shoe. And as a final chef’s kiss, the UNC heritage really pops.
Does Chris prefer this Jordan 9 over the Air Jordan 11 Jubilee releasing a week later on December 12th? Find out by pressing play on the video above.

- The international details
- Jordan cleats
- OG Style colorblocking
- Speedlacing system
- Internal bootie
- Insoles
- Backwards facing Jumpman (ugh!)

As an added bonus, Mrs. Wing asks why the Jordan design team abandoned the idea of showing off visible Air from the Jordan 7 through the Jordan 15. Why do you think they stopped?
