Vintage Gear: Air Jordan IX ‘Powder Blue’ Print Ad

Flip through any old sports mag from the days of Michal’s dominance and you’ll notice it-numerous photos clipped out of pages for the sake of history and homemade collages. This print ad is one such scrap, a two page spread from the launch of the Air Jordan IX in the ‘Powder Blue’ colorway which came during MJ’s first break from the NBA thus the lack of any overt Bulls tie-in. The sneaker and accompanying ad of course instead focused on his UNC days, picking the recognizable white and blue of their unis. Have a look at the full spread below and grab this piece of history now from ahldpm30 on eBay.
