The Air Jordan 9 Retro Charcoal is heading back to shelves for only the second time since it first appeared. The silhouette traces back to Michael Jordan's original retirement, when the design debuted without him on the court. Now it resurfaces after an absence of nearly twenty years, a wait long enough to turn a sneaker into an archive piece. Collectors get their first real shot at the Charcoal colorway in almost two decades.
