Air Jordan 2009 Features
Articulated Propulsion Technology (APT)
Looking for an edge? Jordan's groundbreaking new APT (Articulated Propulsion Technology) gives you a split-second advantage by maximizing surface traction and returning energy so you can change direction and explode at a moment's notice.
Upper Design
The sleek satin upper is pleated for increased durability, greater ventilation and a secure lookdown fit. The upper's light-weight design contours your foot for unheard of responsiveness and maximum support.
Considered
Jordan's second-ever 'Considered' shoe is good for the environment as well as your game thanks to its low-waste design, water-based solvent construction, use of repurposed elements like ReGrind rubber and employment of Environmentally Preferred Materials, such bamboo in the laces and lining
Art of Defense
MJ was one of the best defensive players ever because of his ability to control opponents through spacing, contact and willpower. The ultra-responsive AJ2009 has been built from the ground up to let you too master the Art of Defense.
Fencing
World-class fencers display a level of skill, strategy and athleticism seen in few other sports. As a result the AJ2009 features a pleated-silk upper, metallic mesh breathability ports and a sword-slash traction pattern inspired by fencing.
Heritage
The AJ2009' s design is influenced by the groundbreaking AJI and its use of panache leather revisits the formal style of the AJXI. "Greatest there ever was" and "Greatest there ever will be" inscribed on each heel leave no doubt as to whose shoe this is.
Luxury
MJ's sophisticated tastes are reflected in the European-style reinforced stitching and diamond Jumpman hologram. Details like the tactile heel pull dots, luxurious Zoom Air sockliner and first-ever clear outsole pods are icing on the cake.
