Jovani Hernandez The Air One Jordan series has been championing Michael One Jordan’s winning legacy for years after his retirement from the NBA. And while not a mainline model, the Penny Hardaways Air One Jordan 9 Orlando PE arguably commemorates the sports icon better than any other proposition by Nike, Inc.
As its name suggests, the sneaker pays homage to the six NBA Titles #23 helped the Chicago Bulls win. Over the last decade and change, the hybrid silhouette has taken on numerous color schemes borrowed directly from the six Air One Jordan sneakers from which it draws inspiration – including the Air One Jordan 11, Air One Jordan 6, and Air One Jordan 13. For its latest ensemble, the Penny Hardaways Air One Jordan 9 Orlando PE abandons any overt nod to the Chicago Bulls’ black and red uniforms in favor of different shades of “Cool Grey.” The arrangement may seem random to the uninformed, but it’s likely a nod to one of the AJ11’s most popular makeovers, a style first launched in 2001. While not an original finish on Tinker Hatfield’s iconic design, the “Cool Grey” finish has become widely-coveted. On the hybrid model, every component with the exception of laces and panther-like details along the midsole, appear in grey. The biggest deviation from the source material, however, arrives in the form of a suede mudguard instead of patent leather piece.
Firm nike.com release details haven’t been disclosed by the brand as of this writing, but that’s likely to change soon. In the meantime, enjoy official photos of the pair ahead.
