Give it the old college try with the Air Jordan 9 Retro ‘University Blue’

Outside of the red, black and white hues of Chicago Bulls uniforms, there are few more frequently deployed color schemes in the Jordan Brand line-up (and indeed, the broader Nike range) than University Blue.

From an Air Jordan 2 Retro Low to the friends-and-family Travis Scott Air Jordan 4, or the AJ1 and Air Force 1 models featured in OFF-WHITE’s “The Ten” collection, University Blue is a staple shade in the sneaker world.

Jumpman has already teased two upcoming retros dressed in the same tones — an Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG and an Air Jordan 4 — arriving in early 2021, but if you want to get a jump on spring colorways now, you don’t have to wait much longer.

The Air Jordan 9 Retro ‘University Blue,’ releasing December 5, sees Jumpman branding highlighted in the namesake color on a predominantly white leather upper with black overlays.

The outsoles feature an AJ 9 trademark: embossed wordmarks in multiple languages representing concepts which spoke to MJ’s “blueprint for a good life.”

Secure yourself a pair of the model that doesn’t come around too often when the Air Jordan 9 Retro ‘University Blue’ releases in Men’s and Big Kids’ sizing on 12/5 at jdsports.com and select stores via product release drawing.
