Unlike the past, this time Tinker Hatfield's design is based on the theme of the world, with a minimalist style, simple and generous shapes, and the innovation point is that the outsole uses English, Chinese and Japanese patterns to express the "world", and the earth symbol on the heel echoes the theme of a diverse world. Air Jordan 9 can see the shadow of basketball's cosmopolitanization, Jordan has not only become a hero admired by Americans, but also made people all over the world fascinated by his amazing ball skills.
