Sneakers Release – “Change the World” Jordan 9 Retro, Women’s-Exclusive

Mar 19, 2021

We all have the power to change the world. Whether it’s in the highest halls of government or your own home, it’s worth remembering that each of our actions has an impact.

Jordan Brand invites you to transform your world or at the very least your closet, with its new motif-driven colorway: the Air Jordan 9 Retro “Change the World” sneaker. This women’s-exclusive release launches in a white, Cactus Flower and Desert Berry globally-inspired palette on March 31.

Though Michael Jordan never wore the Air Jordan 9s in a regular-season game, he was still top of mind as Tinker Hatfield designed the silhouette in 1994 (when MJ retired from the NBA for the first time.) Now, more than 25 years later, the women’s “Change the World” rendition pays tribute to the first Jumpman shoe released globally, charting the brand’s journey to becoming a household name and Michael’s journey to becoming the greatest basketball player of all time.

The Retro 9’s “White/Cactus Flower/Desert Berry” upper comprises smooth white leather overlays speckled with neat rows of perforation and stitching that outlines each perforated strip. The right shoe features an orange color scheme along the eye stays, toe, midsole and sockliner. Shades of pink and dusty rose meet the orange along the side overlays and swath the heel counter. A blue-gray toe intersects a purple overlay on the left sneaker, which features a yellow midsole, eyestays and sockliner. Purple at the heel rises to meet a navy-blue overlay. Each heel tab bears the colorway’s titular slogan, “Change the World.”

Navy mesh characterizes the throat, tongue and laces of both sneakers, and white foam midsoles offer a crisp, grounded base. Each sneaker also gets classic Jordan shoes branding on the tongue tag, an embroidered No. 23 on each heel and a global Jumpman heel badge in contrasting colors. Like other renditions of the AJ 9 Retro, this version includes international symbols and languages integrated into the rubber traction pattern.
