Jordan 9 Retro "Flint Grey" Launching 01/24 Colorway: WHITE/FRENCH BLUE/FLINT GREY Style: Men's and Kids' Shoes

Release Date: January 24, 2026

Jan 12, 2026

Air Jordan Retro 9 shoes have come in a wide selection of colorways over the years, ranging from tasteful neutrals to bold primary colors. Now, the Air Jordan 9 Retro collection brings back a classic early-2000s palette perfect for kids and families. The January 24 retro release of the Jordan 9 “Grey Flint” colorway is sure to be one of the hottest sneaker drops of the season.

A Classic Retro 9 Look With Fresh Men’s & Kids’ Colorways

The Jordan Retro 9 has been one of the most iconic sneaker silhouettes for over three decades. With their bold shape, molded detailing and distinct outsole pattern emblazoned with Michael Jordan history, they’re hard to miss.

The “Grey Flint” Jordan 9 colorway originally premiered in 2002, but it hasn’t been seen on shelves since. Collectors and athletes alike will want to get their hands on this design before it disappears again. The January drop takes the original design and reimagines it for families, with distinct colorways in kids’ and men’s sizes.

The kids’ edition Air Jordan 9 Retro shoes come with the original white base and flint grey accents, making these an incredibly versatile pairing for any outfit. The men’s edition also incorporates a pop of French Blue on the tongue, laces and heel to make it stand out on the court and off. This is not the bold blue seen on the Jordan Retro 9 “Powder Blue” shoes. It’s a more muted blue that infuses an edge of Nike’s '90s DNA into the sleek and modern design. 

And though the design forgoes the distinctive Nike Swoosh, the iconic Jumpman logo can be found on the outer heel and sole.

How the Retro 9 “Grey Flint” Fits and Performs Across All Sizes

Since their original release in 1993, Air Jordan 9 shoes have offered a flawless balance of performance and comfort. Men’s sizes are fit for performance, with a supportive upper and high-traction rubber outsole for superior grip on quick turns and transitions.

Kids’ sizes of Air Jordan shoes are more for comfort and flexibility. Children's feet are constantly growing, so their shoes have to be adaptable without sacrificing structure. Jordan Retro 9s strike that balance perfectly, making them ideal for all-day comfort at school, performance on the court or casual weekend wear. 

The water-resistant finish also makes them easy to clean and helps protect kids’ feet in rain or snow. For even more weather protection, check out Nike’s winterized Jordan boots like the Jordan Retro 9 “Black” shoes.
