The pictures below will give you a better look at the 2025 Retro and its packaging.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Few non-OG colourways of the Air Jordan 9 can rival the model’s classic and versatile “Cool Grey” rendition. This iconic version, showcased by Michael Jordan himself during a preseason game with the Washington Wizards, holds a special place in sneaker history. Luckily, the beloved “Cool Grey” colourway is set to make a grand return in 2025, giving fans another chance to experience its timeless charm and celebrate MJ’s legendary career.

A Closer Look At The Sneaker

Every dedicated fan dreams of retro releases staying true to their original glory, and this pair promises just that as it makes its grand return.

Look forward to an upper adorned in “Medium Grey” nubuck, with the “Cool Grey” hue spotlighting the patent leather mudguards that wrap elegantly around the shoe. Accents of clean “White” on the laces, heel branding, and midsole flawlessly tie the look together, complemented by a grey semi-translucent outsole underneath. 

This sneaker is definitely another highlight to look forward to in Jordan Brand’s impressive lineup for next year. 

Air Jordan 9 “Cool Grey” Release Details

This stylish pair is slated for a Spring 2025 release. Sneakerheads can purchase a pair via Nike.com and select Jordan Brand retailers, available in both men’s and grade school sizes. The retail price is set at $210 USD for men and $160 USD for GS sizes. 

But that’s not all 2025 has in store for sneaker enthusiasts. Look out for the return of other iconic retro releases, including the Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”, Air Jordan 10 OG “Steel”, and the Air Jordan 14 Red “Ferrari”, as well as many other coveted pairs. But until then, stay tuned to Sneaker Fortress for more updates on sneaker drops and reviews.
