Inspired by the team colors of the University of North Carolina, the Air Jordan 9 Retro ‘For The Love Of The Game’ sneaker pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s college hoops career which reinforced his love for basketball. Released in August 2010, Jordan’s ninth signature shoe comes dressed in Tar Heels colors, sporting a University Blue leather upper that’s surrounded by a patent White mudguard that extends to the heel. Jumpman logos at the midsole and heel counter complete this classic design.
