Amazing Air Jordan Sneaker Releases Coming 2024 Will Leave You In Awe

There’s just something uniquely inviting and special about blue shoes. The great Elvis Presley felt so strongly about his own pair that he wrote us a passionate song about them, warning us all that we were free to do anything we wanted to him, but the one thing we couldn’t do was step on his blue suede shoes. Here at Sneaker Fortress, we’re feeling enthusiastic about a particular pair of blue shoes we have in our sights. Granted, they’re not suede like Elvis’s, but we’re convinced these may be way more stunning than the ones he crooned about. In fact, we’ll go as far as to say that the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” may be among the most anticipated sneakers in 2024.

The Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” Is A Colourway To Remember

We’re talking about the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” colourway, reportedly launching in March of this year. The Air Jordan 9s are among the most stylish silhouettes ever released, and with the “Powder Blue”, we see Jordan Brand pay homage to His Airness’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina. In this place, his greatness began to be recognized and respected by teammates, opponents, and fans. Let’s remind ourselves that the 9s, designed by Tinker Hatfield, were all about embracing an international theme. Michael Jordan had just resigned when the shoe first came out, and Nike wanted to honour the man and his impact on the global game and popular culture as a whole. Given this background and how rich the shoe’s history is, there is no doubt that this will be one of the biggest and most significant releases for sneakerheads this year.

Looks Are Everything

Let’s talk build and design. With the “Powder Blue”, the designers have blessed us with a colourway that consists of a dominant Summit White, complemented by Black and Dark Powder Blue. The pristine, sophisticated look of the white leather is king here, and it presents us with a stunning blank canvas for the bold black accents that make their way effortlessly across the tongue, eyelets, and liner. The Jumpman logo makes its presence felt on the midsole and heel pull tabs. The logo on the midsole is black, thinly outlined by a complementary light grey, while the logo on the heel pull tab is in powder blue atop an image of the globe. There’s no doubt that this symbolizes the indisputable way MJ dominated the world of basketball in his playing days, continuing to do so even now as the GOAT, so many years after his retirement.

As if those elements weren’t enough, the solid white rubber sole acts as the perfect finishing touch, grounding everything and underscoring the timeless appeal of this iconic silhouette. And the best part? This sneaker is for everyone, meaning it will be available in men’s, grade school, preschool, and even toddler sizes, allowing the whole family to experience the legacy of this stunning Air Jordan 9 colourway.

If you’re starting to lick your lips and tap your feet, be warned that the Air Jordan 9 “Powder Blue” won’t come cheap. Prepare to part with USD 210 to secure yourself a pair. The shoes will be available at select Jordan Brand retailers, both in-store and online. If you prefer to do things online, head to Nike.com.

Tafadzwa Njovana is an experienced filmmaker, who has worked specifically as a writer, director and video editor. He is also a gifted voice artist, having worked with several high-profile brands.
Tafadzwa’s career in film and video was honed when he relocated to Cape Town, South Africa, to pursue his first love a BA Honours in Film Directing and Screenwriting. He has led diverse creative teams, including being the content lead for Christian Vision’s in-house publication, 1Africa, which was created to deal with the intersection of faith and popular culture. He currently straddles the worlds of writing and video as part of the team at Fortress Entertainment.
He is a lover of sport – specifically basketball (NBA) and American football (NFL) – though he is still working towards developing his knowledge of the X’s and O’s of both sports. He’ll watch and enjoy other sports too, especially when there are big, international competitions. His love of basketball has drawn him organically to love and appreciate sneakers – an area he writes about at Sneaker Fortress.
Between mid-June (when the NBA Finals end) and September (when the NFL season kicks off), he goes into a mini depression but uses his time wisely, reading and learning as much as he can. A fan of both MJ and LeBron, he refuses to be drawn into debates about who is the GOAT, preferring rather to channel that energy into other things like running The Reel Sauce, a YouTube channel celebrating the best of African screen entertainment in the streaming space.
Tafadzwa also learned to love sneakers through the avenue of hip-hop, having grown up in the era of Biggie, Pac, Dre and many other artists. Their fashion and sneaker choices spoke as much to him as their lyrics did, allowing him to write about that world even while pursuing his own lane as a creative.
