We’ve received a number of classic Air Jordan releases over the past two years, but the Air Jordan IXs have been MIA. It looks like Jordan Brand has finally decided to bring them back for 2012, and they are going all out this year, with at least four releases planned. The lineup will include the previously released Black/Olive and Cool Grey releases, as well as two new colorways. The first pair is Black/Photo Blue-White, and the second is Black/Metallic Platinum-Gym Red has been inspired by the old Johnny Kilroy Nike commercials created during MJ’s first comeback (see the video below). From CK. All pairs are expected to retail for $160, and will begin releasing in October. Stay tuned for more on what looks to be the year of the IX.
