Jordan Nike 09 Unveiled

Michael Jordan surprised the audience during Jordan Brands unveiling of the the next Air Jordan legacy sneaker, the Air Jordan 2009. Since retiring the first and second time from the game, the number 23 is still the number Michael Jordan is known by. For that reason moving forward, Jordan Legacy sneakers will be named after the year. The sneakers will be available in stores on February 14th for $190. But, a special edition of the Air Jordan 2009 will release on January 31st for $230 a pop.

Also, on hand for the announcement was Paralympian April Holmes who is the first female athlete on the Team Jordan roster. For those who don’t know April Holmes, she owns the world records (women’s T44 classification) in the 100m, 200m and 400m dashes, and her many accomplishments have earned her the title of “world’s fastest amputee.”
