The Daily Jordan: Air Jordan 9 Retro “Flint” – 2002

The Daily Jordan is back – we’re looking at the Air Jordan 9 Retro “Flint” (White/French Blue-Flint Grey) today. The Flint 9 released on May 4, 2002 for $125 as a quality follow-up to the original White/Black-True Red colorway retro that dropped earlier that year on January 12. Tumbled leather, grey nubuck with embedded sparkly glitter or something, and that dark French blue dotted around the upper. While the Flint 9 would probably be a sellout on day one these days, it sat awhile back in summer, fall, and winter of ’02. Eventually, all of the popular sizes would go, either at retail price or on decent discount, but larger sizes – around 12 and up – really sat at some spots. Eastbay was trying to get rid of those sizes for $59.99. Crazy. You’d never see that now. Pairs are on eBay but you have to be choosy if you want a decent pair. Keep in mind that the grey paint on the midsole will probably crack with wear at some point, just as it did when these first dropped. Tag us with your Flint 9s with the hashtag #jordansdaily.
