Some would say that the Air Jordan 9 in the classic “Olive” colorway was made for the Fall/Winter season. The smooth black leather upper wrapped with the earth-tone Olive nubuck gives this iconic basketball sneaker a outdoors feel. It’s not a surprise that Jordan Brand will release these in the middle of the Fall season.
And for those who worry about getting their shoes dirty during the cold season, don’t fret because it’ll be equipped with an all-blacked out mid/outsole. Mark your calendars because the Air Jordan 9 “Olive” 2012 Retro has a release date on November 17th. The retail price is set at $160. Until then, check out the detailed images of the 2012 retro below. Stay tuned for the latest updates.

Who’ve been waiting to cop these?
I regret dyeing my OG’s to black back in the days. These will have to do.
last time these dropped there was a lil spot in the mall that had these sitting for an entire YEAR. pretty sure that won’t happen this time around.
I’ve been waiting for a long time but why the hell are they brown…smh
Them look more tan than olive. I hope that’s just the camera flash. I gotta make a push out here for them.
Yup
I still remember these sitting at Footlocker for $50 last time they dropped.
Fity-Dollas!!!!
lol i remeber senior year im HS these were $50 i regret not buying them cause now the kids will flock to the stores and make a line for a shoe no one cared bout back then
Yes they are a different color in case anyone is wondering. The olive looks tan in person and its not just the pics. The leather is very cheap as usual with retros. I also wasn’t feeling the midsole. These are a no go for me y’all cause they don’t even compare to the OG’s.
not grabbing these, would take some olive 5′s though
hmm… something looks way off.. could just be the nubuck looking cheap tho.
One of those colorways that everyone slept on like the Mocha 3′s. Luckily I still have both.
I agree with the comment of ”back then no one cared about, and this around people will line up for shoe now, especially a Jordan retro! SMH!
they look Good, and the concept is dope.
im getting them
Can’t wait for the release date… Def worth it!
Now everybody likes these…ppl r to much into the hype, get ur own swag lames…
they look more brown than olive
